# Most cases can be handled without logical negation operator. Can we identify cases where this operator is necessary?
+
# Plan looks sensible
## Example: search for "no cancer" (to screen for a study, e.g.). If "no breast cancer" is a child of "no cancer," then patients with other cancers who have "no breast cancer" recorded may be inferred.
+
# Request attendance.
## This seems like a problem with using DL. Three things may be necessary for this:
+
# Invite Cecil Lynch, Jim Case.
### The element must be modeled as a negation - if not fully defined, at least with explicit negation.
+
# September: probably not.
### The analyst (or agent) must understand how to classify negated concepts (e.g., which DLs can cope, how to identify where inversion is appropriate, etc.)
 
### There cannot be other implied dimensions of negation that are relevant but not handled.
 
#### Implied negation: concepts that look affirmative but imply negation; e.g., "left hemiplegia present" implies "right hemiplegia absent"
 
##### Places where it looks implied may not be. E.g., 'oriented' and 'disoriented' are not complete -- neither includes comatose. I.e., 'not oriented' does not imply 'disoriented'
 
#### This is a problem endemic to language and reality. It may mean that any uses of negation must be task-specific; one cannot represent information and expect that there is no context in which negation may not become relevant.
 
## Information modeling cannot solve this problem, except to specify condition 1 - that you can't do it without explicit negation.
 
# "Spleen present" is asked.
 
## But it is in the context of safety - checking for contraindications.
 
## Is there a criterion we can use for determining when explicit negation modeling is necessary or useful?
 
### "Persistence" of condition doesn't work: absence of spleen persists.
 
### The "Persistence" of interest is the information's usefulness
 
### Criterion: is/would DL be useful?
 
#### E.g., "NKDA" works fine: what additional cases do we enable by refining it to "DA - Absent"?
 
# Desideratum 2
 
## Unclear. Clarify that this is about the problem domain, not solutions.
 
# Desideratum 4
 
## clarity, ok. Recommending 'idempotent' may be 'design'; avoid.
 
# Key issues
 
## Children; i.e., inferring subclasses when inference is inverted
 
## Equivalence; i.e., when two expressions mean the same thing. [Not so much: this is hard, but not specific to negation]
