Abstract
A digital set theoretic system is disclosed that expands the reasoning capability from reasoning with probability measures to reasoning with set theory measures and other Venn diagram type operations using linear transformations and power series transformations, and appropriate hardware and software implementations. This expansion also leads to an increase in precision of the output which can be provided by a hardwired power series expansion. A recursive power series expansion increases this precision while reducing the spatial requirements. The system also enhances flexibility by allowing the constants of the power series expansion to be selectable.
