New Measures Of Consistency And Coverage For Social Research Based On Neutrosophic Logic, Erick Gonzalez Caballero, Maikel Y. Leyva Vázquez, Noel Batista-Hernández, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The mathematical methods systematically used in social sciences often rely on statistical tools like correlation, which may not optimally model social phenomena, frequently described using words. Set theory, as proposed by C.C. Ragin, provides a more suitable tool, leveraging set asymmetry to measure set-theoretic consistency and coverage, which were later generalized to fuzzy sets. Subsequent extensions into the neutrosophic field are significant because the underlying binary logic in traditional models often fails to capture the complexities and nuances of social realities, such as those found in Afro-Latin American and Caribbean cosmovisions that encompass ambiguity and indeterminacy. This paper proposes new, …

Thinking About Complexity In Latin America: Contributions Of Neutrosophy In Dialogue With Edgar Morin, Noel Batista-Hernández, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vázquez, Alenna Rosa Batista-Barallobre Jun 2025

Thinking About Complexity In Latin America: Contributions Of Neutrosophy In Dialogue With Edgar Morin, Noel Batista-Hernández, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vázquez, Alenna Rosa Batista-Barallobre

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Smarandache’s neutrosophic logic—and its broader philosophical umbrella of MultiAlism, which insists that any assertion must be considered together with its neutral and anti-assertive counterparts—offers powerful methodological tools to operationalize Edgar Morin’s complexity thinking. While Morin contributes the principles of dialogic, recursiveness and the hologrammatic approach, his continental framework can be difficult to apply empirically. Neutrosophy and MultiAlism formalize contradiction, uncertainty and multidimensionality, thereby bridging theory and practice. In Latin America, where complexity thinking is widely adopted to address realities marked by inequality and instability, this integration enables rigorous modelling of non-linear phenomena. Applications such as Neutrosophic QCA (NsQCA), Neutrosophic Cognitive …
