Abstract

This paper uses erotetic logic to characterize the legal concept of "the whole truth" sworn to by witnesses offering testimony. Such a model has potential application to expert systems for detecting perjury or gauging the severity of an instance of perjury. In addition, the model developed here has potential application to intelligent databases.
