Abstract:
Apparatus performs various modal interval computations, while accounting for various modal interval operand configurations that are not amenable to ordinary computational operations. Upon detecting an exponent field of all 1's, the apparatus adapts various conventions involving leading bits in the fraction field of the modal interval endpoints to return a result having a useful meaning.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus of  claim 1  adapted for calculating a second result modal interval dependent on the first modal interval and on a second modal interval having the same structure as the first modal interval and having a third endpoint and a fourth endpoint, comprising:\n a) a second operand register for holding the third endpoint and the fourth endpoint of the second modal interval, and for providing a second operand signal specifying the contents of the second modal interval's endpoints' fields; \n b) a second analysis element for receiving the second operand signal, creating a third truth table for the third endpoint and a fourth truth table for the fourth endpoint; \n c) a second logic array for determining a classification from the third and fourth truth tables, the classification including an empty bit (E) and, optionally, a tracking decoration (T), wherein:\n when the third and fourth truth tables indicate that the third and fourth endpoints have the same sign and a value of infinity, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration indicates an empty or non-empty restriction; \n when the third and fourth truth tables indicate that one of the third and fourth endpoints are not-a-number, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration is the NaN decoration field from the not-a-number endpoint; \n when the third and fourth truth tables indicate that both of the third and fourth endpoints are not-a-number, the empty bit is 1 and the tracking decoration indicates an empty input restriction; \n \n otherwise the empty bit is and the tracking decoration is not used; \n d)-h) providing a result signal encoding the second result modal interval wherein:\n when the empty bit from the classification of the first and second truth tables is 1 and the empty bit from the classification of the third and fourth truth tables is 1, the second result modal interval is either the first modal interval or the second modal interval, whichever is associated with the tracking decoration of minimum value (see reference numeral  50 ); \n when the empty bit from the classification of the first and second truth tables is 1 and the empty bit from the classification of the third and fourth truth tables is 0, the second result modal interval is the first modal interval; \n when the empty bit from the classification of the first and second truth tables is 0 and the empty bit from the classification of the third and fourth truth tables is 1, the second result modal interval is the second modal interval; and \n when the empty bit from the classification of the first and second truth tables is 0 and the empty bit from the classification of the third and fourth truth tables is 0, the second result modal interval is a result of a computation by a second computational element receiving the first and second operands signals and the first, second, third, and fourth truth tables.
