| | 反事实条件 | Explanation: wikipedia:
反事实条件,或虚拟条件,致力于捕获在自然语言中的“如果-那么”陈述的条件陈述。与实质条件陈述不同,反事实条件可以为假即使它的前件为假。在自然语言中的"如果-那么"的意思不是总能正确的用实质条件所形式化。特别是,实质条件总是真的,只要它们的前件为假,而在自然语言中的"如果-那么"陈述,是指示条件,可以在这种情况下为假。例如,陈述“如果 Keith 在墨西哥,则 Keith 在非洲” 将典型的被认为是假。但是,如果 Keith 当前不在墨西哥,则对应的逻辑条件是真。换句话说,如果陈述“Keith 在墨西哥” 和 “Keith 在非洲” 被分别的形式化为命题 和 ,你可能不希望第一个蕴涵第二个。不过,如果 当前为假,则 在命题逻辑中是真。为了区分反事实条件和实质条件,定义了符号 ,所以 意味着 “如果 ,则 ”。
