Enhancing flexibility of belief representations

Several attempts have been made to enhance the flexibility of belief representation in the Shafer model. This paper questions their ability to retain the intuitiveness. A method of enhancing the flexibility of belief representations, without compromising the intuitiveness is proposed. In it we relax the Shafer´s exclusivity constraint by disregarding the formalism: ´subsets as propositions´ and expressing support as functions of propositions. A compact and intuitive notation for propositions, termed N-of, is introduced. This notation simplifies the formulation of propositions from the statements humans make.
