Truthbearer

<p><i ><b>Truth-bearer</b></i>&nbsp;is a term used to designate entities that are either true or false and nothing else. The thesis that some things are true while others are false raises the question of the nature of these things. Since there is divergence of opinion on the matter, the term&nbsp;<i >truthbearer</i>&nbsp;is used to be neutral among the various theories. Truth-bearer candidates include propositions, sentences, sentence-tokens, statements, ideas, beliefs, thoughts, intuitions, utterances, and judgments but different authors exclude one or more of these, deny their existence, argue that they are true only in a derivative sense, assert or assume that the terms are synonymous,<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthbearer#cite_note-0" >[1]</a></sup>&nbsp;or seek to avoid addressing their distinction or do not clarify it.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference" ><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthbearer#cite_note-1" >[2]</a></sup></p>
