Abstract

Para>One can hardly understand the fine structure of finitely presented (especially of finitely generated free and projective) MV-algebras without a working knowledge of the basic properties of rational polyhedra and their regular triangulations. The simplexes of these triangulations provide the volume elements of the integrals that evaluate the average truth-value of formulas and compute the invariant Rényi conditional introduced later in this book. Rational polyhedra are the genuine algebraic varieties of the formulas
