concept(s) |
thoughts or ideas |
p. 7. |
classical reality definitions use Platonic-Aristotelian concepts
and ideas; quantum reality descriptions use Dawkinsian memes
and memeos |
conjunctive |
p and q counts as true if both p and q are true;
false otherwise |
p. 19. |
classical conjunctions assume, suppose, and presume
an Aristotelian excluded-middle twixt p and q which we script
as dichon(p,
q); quantum comjunctions desnouer nature's physial included~middlings
which we script as quanton(p,q)
See our Quantonics' Breakthroughs: included~middle.
See our How to Become a Student of Quantonics: included~middle.
|
consistency |
a proposition's truth value recurs regardless
of selected context
(Reviewer note: Clearly, classical consistency, as demanded
by both Buridan and Hughes is unobtainable. For any proposition,
there exist both an infinity of contexts obtaining falsity, and
an infinity of contexts obtaining truth.) |
Introduction, pp. 1-33. |
classical consistency says, "always states the
truth"
quantum comsistency says, "always changes."
|
context |
proposition(s) establish(es) context in a convention
(Reviewer note: Here we see the edict of one context.
Clearly this is contrived and artificial, not real. This edict
belies an (false) assumption of substantial reality composing
unchanging, observable, separable, isolable, individuistic objects.
Such a reality, we know now, does not exist. Both Hughes and
Buridan implicitly admit multiple contexts, though, by suggesting
that:
* different propositions in the same convention, or
* the same proposition in different conventions, or
* different propositions in different conventions
all define various contexts.)
|
pp. 6-7,14. |
See comtext. |
contextual consistency |
Buridan and Hughes insist that assessment of truth requires
contextual consistency; any assessment manifesting contextual
inconsistency must be false, e.g., "...a necessary condition
of a proposition being true...it should be contextually consistent,
i.e., that it should not (either by itself, or in conjunction
with any other true proposition) entail anything false."
P. 19.
(Reviewer note: Clearly, classical consistency, as
demanded by both Buridan and Hughes is unobtainable. We may only
conclude given their insistence on consistency, that all propositions
are by necessity, by edict, false.)
|
pp. 19-20. |
classical contextual consistency requires that
reality be stoppable
and hold still conveniently for dialectical
analysis
quantum comtextual comsistency understands that reality
is unstoppable and relentlessly
changes and evolves
|
convention |
the setting for any proposition or propositions; includes
generally accepted loci, chronology, sentients, form, language,
semantics, etc.
(Reviewer note: Both Hughes and Buridan implicitly
indoctrinate a non-general convention: Earth-location-here-centrism,
anthropocentrism, now-centrism, epistemic-centrism, stereotypic-centrism,
archetype-absurdity-centrism, etc.)
|
pp. 6-7, 14. |
Attic
dialectic is the convention assumed by Buridan and
Hughes here: linguistically, logically, philosophically,
scientifically, and socially. Dialectic is 'common,' however,
it is non general. Dialectic is a "tragedy of commons"
sense convention. |
copula |
syncategorematic intransitive verb + quantity |
p. 12. |
All of Buridan's and Hughes' copula assume Aristotle's sillygisms are
valid. |
correspondence TCs |
I-prop (subject & predicate stand for same
thing),
A-prop (subject stands for something - predicate stands for everything
subject stands for),
E-prop (negation of I-prop),
O-prop (negation of A-prop);
extensible to singular and indefinite |
p. 17-18. |
|
disjunctive |
p or q counts as true if one of p and q is true; false otherwise |
p. 19. |
Ideal, radically formal, mechanical, analytic
'di' sjunctions are impossible in quantum reality. Why? Quantum
reality is flux and flux are quantum likelihood omnistributionings
which included~middle compenetrate, entangle, cohere, tunnel,
coobsfect, and superpose one another in perpetual motion and
perpetual change. |
empty |
a sufficient condition for the falsity of an affirmative
proposition whose subject is empty |
p. 18. |
See empty. |
entailment |
"Suppose we take any proposition, and suppose
we give it the name 'A;' then the conjunction of the original
proposition and a proposition asserting that A exists entails
a proposition asserting that A is true...principle...of...truth
entailment." |
p. 22. |
Classical entailment is causal,
bivalent (EOOO (Either-One-Or-Other) "true or false"
two-valued), 1-1 correspondent (linearly,
objectively, unitemporally dependent), assumes significate and
its signification "hold still," are classically stable,
etc. See state. See
dichon.
Quantum entailment evolves
with quantum reality's absolute
omni~comtextual
(holographic)
change, thus quantum~entailment
issi enthymemetic,
and omnitemporal. Quantum
entailment issi omnivalent,
absolutely dynamic PVRC (Perpetual Variable Rate Change), EIMA
(Everywhere~Included~Middle~Associativity),
and thus quantum~holographic, etc. See quanton.
Classical "truth
entailment" is 'impossible'
in quantum~reality! All quantum~truthings are agents of
their own change and perpetually~evolve quantally.

|
exists |
a proposition's truth or falsity may be proven
given the proposition stands for a material or objective entity,
i.e., the proposition, if it exists, stands for substance or
something substantial; existence of a proposition may be a function
of time |
p. 6. |
|
exists not |
a proposition's truth or falsity may not be
proven if the proposition stands for something which does not
exist |
p. 6, and e.g., p. 24. |
|
false |
a proposition may be assessed false via any of the following:
- contextual inconsistency
- self contradiction
- empty subject
- contradiction
- fails truth conditions
- fails supposition
- fails entailment
- fails all p forms
|
Introduction, pp. 1-33. |
- contextual inconsistency
- quantum reality does not hold still therefore contextual
consistency is impossible in quantum reality
- self contradiction
- A = A contradicts itself from Planck moment to Planck moment
in quantum reality; classically then if we adhered this 'rule'
we would have to conclude that "reality is false"
- empty subject
- quantum vacuum flux belies classical emptiness
- contradiction
- fails truth conditions
- fails supposition
- classical supposition requires arbitrary analytic stoppability
and hold-still-ability; quantum reality is non analytic, non
stoppable, and non hold-still-able
- fails entailment
- classical entailment harbors essence of classical induction;
quantum reality harbors induction only as a classical apparency;
quantum entailment if there is such a meme is a metameme similar
provability as a metameme of proof
- fails all p forms
- classical stand for assumes reality is objective and stable
- classical negation assumes reality is objective and stable
- quantum reality is absolutely animate and unstoppable, and
quantum reality issi
quantum~positive
while asserting negation
is subjective

proposition |
p = f(t); must be asserted; p = f(c); conventional

self-referential |
Self-referential (SR) propositions require the
extra requirement of contextual consistency; SR propositions
that are contextually inconsistent are false |
p. 19. |
|
self-referential proposition |
a proposition whose truth value may be different
from its truth value were it non-self-referential; may be contextually
inconsistent while its own truth conditions are met |
p. 19. |
|
self-referential proposition (non-) |
non-self-referential a proposition whose truth value is consistent
when its truth conditions are satisfied
NSR propositions do not require the additional condition of
contextual consistency to assess truth value; the correspondence
truth conditions are adequate

truth-condition(s), TCs |
See A, E, I, O, and see correspondence defined
above. |
pp. 12, 17-18. |
Classical dialectical, analytic, state-ic, 1 to 1 correspondence
is simply impossible in quantum reality.
Animate quantum~monitoring issi quantum~possible, however.
We can then infer that animate, ensemble,
but always both
inconsistent and incomplete, QLOs
are ~achievable.
