IF logic

Dear logicians, I would like to see a sentence in
IF logic
that has indeterminate truth-value. Is this a misunderstanding?
I am interested in the question of whether FOL is ever insufficient for modeling finite or countably-infinite domains.

Do you mean that the structure of the argument renders it inherently indeterminate?
Because any if-logic statement can be made indeterminate by slipping in an indeterminate statement.
"If Gustavo will never die, then my grandchild will be King of Mexico."

Whoa, facinating. Looks like you've unwittingly killed my productivity for the rest of the work day.

since I only first read about IF logic yesterday, I don't have an answer to your question. However, I read about it in a fascinating article by Samson Abramsky on
"Socially responsive, environmentally friendly logic"
.

Odd, I just read both of those articles yesterday too. Do I know you?

Yes, this is Noam.

Sorry, that might be my fault. Do you work with Miro?
