− | * When 1 is interpreted as the logical value ''true'', then <math>f^{-1}(1)\!</math> is called the '''fiber of truth''' in the proposition ''f''. Frequent mention of this fiber makes it useful to have a shorter way of referring to it. This leads to the definition of the notation <math>[|f|] = f^{-1}(1)\!</math> for the fiber of truth in the proposition ''f''.
