Our paper studies a special temporal logic TLZDU combining operations of the linear temporal logic LTL, the operation for discovery (variations of chance discovery --- CD) and operation for logical uncertainty. We distinguish local and global discovery in the temporal logic approach. Main aim of our paper is to construct a logical framework for modeling logical laws connecting chance discovery (CD), temporal logical operations and the logical operation of uncertainty. We aim to solve questions of satisfiability and decidability for TLZDU. Our principal result is found algorithm which checks if any given formula is true in TLZDU (which implies that TLZDU is decidable, and the satisfiability problem for is TLZDU solvable). We also enumerate several interesting open problems within suggested technique.
