Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Abstract

This article introduces new neutrosophic principles aiming to extend and generalize the concepts of locality and nonlocality by addressing scenarios involving indeterminacy, together with partiality and multitude, in physics, mechanics, cosmology, biology, medicine, chemistry, economics, ecology, sociology. Locality refers to interactions or processes confined within a limited region of space or time. But there may be a Total (100%) Locality, or a Partial Locality (less than 100% and greater than 0%). The effects are constrained to the immediate environment. Contrariwise, NonLocality refers to interactions or connections between entities separated by space or time. The changes in one location have instantaneous effects on another. Similarly, there may be a Total (100%) NonLocality, or a Partial NonLocality (less than 100% and greater than 0%). Total (100%) or Partial (less than 100% and greater than 0%) Indeterminacy may arise from hidden variables and from environment. For instance, it may involve nonlocal connections between objects that are only partially entangled or influence each other in limited ways, rather than exhibiting complete freedom. The Principle of Partial Locality, Partial Indeterminacy, and Partial NonLocality implies an interplay of locality, indeterminacy, and nonlocality acting in a dynamic neutrosophic system. A generalization of (Locality, Indeterminacy, NonLocality) is the (MultiLocality, MultiIndeterminacy, MultiNonLocality). Practical examples from different fields are provided.
