That works so long as you don’t have the triple circle Venn diagram with truth, mental objects, and whatever the middle of congruence and contradiction is…

I created a Venn diagram with one circle representing truth and the other representing a mental object. I’m interested in exploring the relationship between these two concepts. I now have a Venn diagram with one circle representing congruence and the other representing contradiction. I’m interested...

I agree. No one wants to think of anything they can’t fully grasp

What is that relationship as far as you see it?

From what I see there are four types of reasoning you go through to find truth… congruence, contradiction, both, and no relationship at all… Obviously these states contradict each other; you can’t have two in full in one thought. So what causes the contradiction on either side? It should look someth...

Some things aren’t proven or stipulated… they are as true as they are false Without a specific concrete example that seems to be baseless. For an example “hello world” isn’t true or false, so it is as true as it is false, and those are null… “The slot machine will dole out tons of coins” is possibl...

Gold.

You feel me

Well you can experience something false, but can you know what is false just by applying falsity to something you’re thinking of?

Maybe truth is something we have to experience, something they can’t be thought of at least not reliably.

Truth and falsity are functions of the brain. It’s a method of interpretation, not the interpreted.

So I have “Γ⊢P”
How do I figure out Γ from P?

I feel imp on this one. Finding similarities is a good way to find generalizations.
