Just curious, where has this term 'noul' come from for yes/no ansers?

/a bit more digging and..

A Noul performs a Bernoulli trial—an experiment with exactly two outcomes (yes or no)—but instead of picking one, it returns the calibrated probability (ranging from 0.0 to 1.0) that the statement is true.

I hate it :)

I like it. It is short and distinct which is a good fit for a primitive. It describes its fundamental meaning and draws a connotation with Boolean.

The whole "no hallucinations" premise is based on that.

Like, yeah, you don't hallucinate, but only because you force the user to decide in the end.

That seems like the only possible way to eliminate hallucination, short of a model that is never wrong.

force the user to decide in the end

And that's...bad?

If you want to get super pedantic about what’s happening in a transistor every digital Boolean is actually this

Not quite.. that boolean is about whether the voltage exceeds some threshold. It's not about how close the voltage is to the circuit's maximum possible threshold, or how much it exceeds the threshold.

In an analog circuit, maybe.
