  • 𝑛 ∈ β„• (natural numbers).
  • β€½α΅Ÿ ∈ {?, !, Ξ΅} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (Ξ΅).
  • Ξ³ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
  • β—‡α΅Ÿ ∈ {β―‘, ⯁, Ξ΅} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (Ξ΅).
