truth value

True or false

Truth value is a term from logic and philosophy indicating whether a statement is true or false.

Every proposition has a truth value—it's either one or the other.

In classical logic, these are the only options; some systems allow additional values like "unknown" or "indeterminate." The truth value of "snow is white" is true.
