n/a means that our compared list of assumptions makes no comparable assumption.

Buridan's Assumptions Reviewer's Assumptions Comments/Comparison
substance exists

reality exists:

  • both actual reality
    • known
    • unknown
  • and nonactual reality
SOM reality is a tiny physical subset of reality's known actual part
nonsubstance does not exist unknown actual reality exists;
nonactuality exists
SOM's subjective realm exists and SOM's unknown exists
classical objects are substantial and exist quantum models exist

ideal classical objects do not exist;
ideal classical objects are ideally:

  • separable,
  • isolable,
  • individuistic,
  • unilaterally observable, and
  • stable, etc.

reality's quantum models (quantons) are, in general, none of these. See our obsfect definition.

classical objects possess attributes or properties quantum models interrelate; quantum models' interrelationships define them reality's quantons are in interrelationships; a quanton's interrelationships define it
truth value may be assessed only by propositions which exist
  • for every bivalent, either/or classical proposition there are an infinity of contexts with a truth value of true
  • for every bivalent, either/or classical proposition there are an infinity of contexts with a truth value of false
  • for every bivalent, both/and classical proposition there are an infinity of context pairs, each pair with a truth value of both true and false
  • for every infinite-valued, fuzzy classical proposition there are an infinity of contexts with a truth value of continuum(false,true)
  • for every quantum proposition there are an infinity of omnicoherent, omnimensional, omnicontexts with omnivalent (non-syllogistic, included-middle) truth value
here we see quantum reality's many truths, many contexts and many concomitant, included-middle logics, vis-à-vis SOM reality's OGT, OGC, and a single syllogistic logic
truth may take only three values:
true, false, mu
bivalent both/and logic exists;
infinite-value (fuzzy) logic exists;
omnivalent (quantonic) logic exists
here we see quantum reality's many truths, many contexts and many concomitant logics vis-à-vis SOM reality's OGT, OGC, and a single syllogistic logic
propositions may exist or not exist and may alternate existence in time all propositions may exhibit quantum-logical truth value in some quantum reality context(s) here we see quantum reality's many truths...
proposition meaning may change upon change of conventional global context all propositions may exhibit an infinite variety of quantum-logical truth values in an infinite variety of quantum reality context(s) here we see quantum reality's many truths...
equiform propositions differ only when their truth conditions differ n/a
equiform propositions may not be true and false simultaneously (e.g., p. 47 - parity, universality) bivalent both/and logic exists;
infinite-value (fuzzy) logic exists;
omnivalent (quantonic) logic exists
here we see quantum reality's many truths..."omniplex veritas"
propositions which exist include terms whose suppositions stand for substance, objects, object properties, personal suppositions, or material suppositions all quantum-logical propositions describe quantum-logical interrelationships among quantons (i.e., quantum models)
truth value is either true or false truth may change continuously (we should say, quantumly, "truthings") quantum flux imposes at least a Planck rate potential for change of quanton interrelationships (potentially faster assuming quanton changes are not synchronous to Planck's frequency)
Buridan's Assumptions Reviewer's Assumptions Comments/Comparison
true premises never entail a false conclusion bivalent both/and logic exists;
infinite-value (fuzzy) logic exists;
omnivalent (quantonic) logic exists

here we see quantum reality's many truths...

Allow Doug to restate Buridan's assumption here: "...true premises never entail a false conclusion..."

There is only one way Doug knows of that Buridan's assumption can be generally 'true.' Buridan is making other implicit assumptions:

  • his logical reality is in one global context,
  • his dialectical logic is valid,
  • his dialectical logic is absolute (i.e., both complete and consistent in his assumed OGC),
  • that truth, verity, untruth and falsity are stable objective concepts (truth is absolute, and falsity is an objectively ideal negation of verity),
  • and so on...

But quantum~reality belies all of Buridan's assumptions! Reality is n¤t classically dialectical.

Reality is quantum and exhibits many features:

  • dynamic, evolving absolute flux as quantum~waves,
  • (due quantum~flux) flux everywhere~associatively~middle~includes flux,
  • flux quantum~partiality of cancellation (not classical dialectical negation):
    • partial presence of cancellation in flux interference, and
    • partial absence of cancellation in flux n¤n interference,
  • quantum~islands of heterogeneous (absolute pluralism) quantum~comtextings,
  • evolving truthings whose subjective flux valuings are comtextually holographic
  • and so on...

So, in this case Buridan's assumption, "...true premises never entail a false conclusion..." is simply retarded, beyond retarded: moronic.

Buridan is a moron for a simple reason: he bought into Parmenides', Plato's, and Aristotle's dialectic bogosities.

Do your quantum due diligence. Read all of Doug's Quantum Connection. Then you will understand why Doug writes:

Both in a local quantum~comtexting and in many both local and n¤nlocal quantum~comtextings:

  • all quantum~premises are always enthymemetic, thus
  • quantum~premises always both do and do n¤t entail both true and false conclusions,
  • conclusions evolve radically with both changing local comtextings and many heterogeneous and holographic energy~wellings' islands and their local timings and quantonic interrelationshipings,
  • etc.

Bottom Line: Ideal classical OGCs and all their objective, state-ic premises are bogus, hylic intellectual garbage.

Doug - 23May2010.

contexts exist an infinity of concurrent contexts exist SOM assumes multiple contexts, but only one conventional context may be used for truth value assessment at one time; quantum reality assumes an infinity of contexts in concurrent existence
selected context is conventional, established by both consensus and propositions under evaluation

see comtext

14Mar2009 - Doug.

SOM's OGC...
once selected, a context becomes global for propositions and entailments under evaluation see above SOM's OGC...

a proposition is:

  • consistent if its truth value recurs in SOM's global context
  • inconsistent if its truth value changes in SOM's global context
for every quantum proposition there are an infinity of omnicoherent, omnimensional, omnicontexts with omnivalent truth value
an inconsistent proposition's truth value is false bivalent both/and logic exists;
infinite-value (fuzzy) logic exists;
omnivalent (quantonic) logic exists
every true proposition is contextually consistent for every quantum proposition there are an infinity of omnicoherent, omnimensional, omnicontexts with omnivalent truth value
self-contradictory propositions are false

see Doug's QELR of truth

self-contradictory propositions appear both true and false simultaneously n/a

Compare classical and quantum simultaneity.

Essentially classical notions of simultaneity and isochrony become quantum memeos of phasicity and phasicityings.

See 'Absence of Global Isochrony and Implications' below.

Doug - 10Jan2010.

self-referent propositions exist n/a
non-self-referent propositions exist n/a

sophisms exist

  • sophisms are self-referential propositions
  • some sophisms are directly self-referential
  • some sophisms are indirectly self-referential
  • some sophisms are paradoxical
  • some sophisms are contextually inconsistent
n/a
paradox arises only if we can prove a proposition false, then it follows that a proposition is true n/a any contradiction in general quantum logic implies a context of a proposition needs expansion

dialecticians may declare certain concepts non-existent, for example:

  • chimeras (p. 15)
  • a proposition whose suppositions stand for nothing
  • empty subclasses of object categories
n/a in quantum reality all is possible; no concept is absurd or unreasonable
dialecticians may declare certain results of propositions absurd, for example:
- see discussion on signification on p. 13
n/a in quantum reality all is possible; no concept is absurd or unreasonable

Explicit/Implicit
 
 
classical syllogistic logic exists quantum logic exists axioms which attend this statement are almost unfathomable; we have a long way to go here
classical logical reality is closed our best current model of reality is quantum reality it is your reviewer's conjecture that both quantum reality and thus quantum logic are open
truth is absolute change is absolute;
truth is relative;
truth may change continuously
flux is crux
tautologies exist n/a classical tautologies in a classical reality, when viewed from that classical reality immersed (subsumed) in quantum reality, may appear as sophisms (i.e., quantum flux may change any terms of any propositions continuously)
change is analytic in classical time flux quantizes change in quantum reality integration of quantized change, or flux loop counts provide an illusion of time flow
truth presides over change change presides over substance and truth (flux is crux) a la Pirsig, change (a metaphor of DQ) is reality's first good; truth (one type of SQ) is reality's second good
'is' represents an ideal 'equals' n/a in general, quantons may change faster than Planck's rate, so any given quanton may not even be 'equal' to itself from Planck instant to Planck instant; more complex quanton are more likely to change from instant to instant

classical schisms:

  • mind-body,
  • subject-object,
  • nonsubstance-substance,
  • nonexistensial-existensial
n/a quantum reality replaces SOM's idea of schism with a quantum meme of unified quantum cohesive networks of locally autonomous complementary interrelationships
SOM's domain of substance/existence is its domain of reason quantum reality is a domain of reason

SOM's domain of reason is:

  • SOM's domain of the truth
  • SOM's domain of dialectic convention
  • SOM's domain of chosen exclusive context

a quantum domain of reason is:

  • a domain of change
  • many contexts
  • many truths
conventional SOM classical assumptions are adequate for practicing SOM's dialectical art n/a
SOM's domain of chosen exclusive context does not change during proposition assessment n/a a quantum domain may change as often as Planck's rate
Buridan's Assumptions Reviewer's Quantum Assumptions Comments/Comparison
SOM's domain of chosen exclusive context does not affect proposition terms during assessment quantum models interrelate quantons may experience changes in interrelationships as often as Planck's rate

SOM's domain of chosen exclusive context is separate from proposition terms during assessment:

  • SOM's domain of chosen exclusive context does not:
    • cohere,
    • commingle,
    • interpenetrate,
    • interact, nor
    • interrelate with proposition terms, or their ultimate significates during assessment

SOM logic is lisr, stoppable, bivalent, unilateral, 1-1 correspondent, etc. All are problematic in quantum reality. Doug - 14Feb2007.

quantum truth value is islandic-local and nondistributive and dependent on up to omni quantum~simultaneous possibilities of (see more recent c. 2004-2007 QELR of phase):

  • omnicoherence
  • omniconcurrence
  • omnicontextuality
  • omnimensionality
  • omnilateral, omniobservability (as multiplicate energy~well coobsfectionings)
  • omnivalence

In Quantonics quantum reality's 'logic' is coquecigrues. Coquecigrues is self~other~referent~quantum~sophism. It is everywhere~included~middle~associative. See our What are Sophisms? page.

Quantum~gn¤sis, when we acknowledge its emergent and adaptive evolutionary holographicityings, asks us to view quantum~truthings omnifferingly. Energy~wellings in any quantum~holograming coobsfect all local energy~wellings.

Now fathom an energy~welling as a (i.e., one of many) enthymemetic quantum~m¤dal stochastic 'mode~node(s)' of quantum~truthing.

Then we can easily grasp our local quantum~holograming as an ensemble of many quantum~energy~wellings' nodal truthings. Pneumatically, "Many Truthings."

This is a way of showing how quantum~realityings are quantized (as n¤dal energy~wellings) evolutionary agents of choice, chance, and change whose massive heterogeneityings all emerge and adapt coherently but d¤ so energy~well by energy~well and d¤ it wholly asynchronously and quantum~ihndæpændæntly (Mae-wan Ho said "autonomously" which, to Doug, implies Finkelstein's quantum~c¤hærænt~islandicity) each having their own, n¤nglobal, timings...without any global isochrony, i.e., "Many Timings."

Doug - 10Jan2010.

substance is changeless except for analytic motion in space-time substance may change continuously (at a Planck rate) usually 'continuously' has a SOM analytic interpretation; here we intend a semantic of a quantized continuum
substance pre-exists actuality arises from nonactuality and to complete this level of flux, actuality demises to nonactuality

substance arranges itself into objects that are:

  • isolable (analytic)
  • separable (analytic)
  • individuistic (analytic)
  • integrable (synthetic)
    • note: non-gestalt
    • note: non-quantum
  • classifiable:
    • by category, and
    • are identical when their:
      • objective category is identical
      • objective properties are identical
      • note: subjective categories and properties do not exist
      • note: nonactual categories and properties do not exist
  • observable:
    • unilaterally (objects do not co-observe their observer(s); see obsfect)
  • stable:
    • do not move under observation
    • do not change under observation
    • note: interactions and interrelationships do not exist
    • note: synergy does not exist
n/a

see A Map of a New Reality

in general, quantum models are:

  • nonactual (unlatched), or
  • actual (latched)
  • nonisolable
  • nonseparable
  • nonindividuistic
  • interpenetrating
  • co-within
  • coherence capable
  • omnilaterally observable
  • changeable at a Planck rate
  • non-identical

SOM reality is a special, contrived and very limited case of quantum reality

n/a

coherence exists as quantum phenomena and minimally manifests quatrotomously:

  • coherence,
  • decoherence,
  • partial coherence, and
  • isocoherence
 See our Quanton Complementary Interrelationships
n/a quantum truth value is islandic-local and often nondistributive, noncommutative, nonfactorizable, and dependent on up to omni-possibilities  quantum reality is an omneity
n/a existence is an infinity of contexts  
n/a existence is a quantum stage  See our quantum stage stairways
