There are two "A".
Whether there is one or two A depends on the context and on your interpretation.
"A" = "A" is irrelevant to whether A = A.

Nah. Not going to let you frame this argument. I am way smarter than you.Speakpigeon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 12:09 pmTo anyone but you, A = A means A has the same value as A, i.e. A is identical to A.
You, on the other hand, can't make the distinction between A = A and "A" = "A" because you're a moron.
Your idiot computer can't assess A = A because all you know to ask is for it to assess "A" = "A", which is irrelevant to whether A = A.
Why is it do you think mathematicians and philosophers alike are insisting on the law of identity?!
Do you think it's to assert that "A" = "A"?!
Whoa.
You don't even understand the basics. You're like a brainless chicken running around with no direction.

Obviously, you're computer isn't capable of that trick!Logik wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:26 pmWe are talking about reality! There are two humans. Both are called Jane. There are also two protons with identical charges (on your insistence). Formulate the following propositions in classical logic for us:
Jane = Jane => True (when comparing the same Jane to itself)
Jane = Jane => False (when comparing the two Janes to each other).

Where would be the problem exactly?
Very easy, given that logic is universal, literally!
So, for example:
¬(x ∧ y);
Jane ∧ x;
Jane ∧ y;
Fun, isn't it?
Ah, I guess you won't even understand that!

That's not a formalism. That's sophistry. I am not interested in an eternal argument of "but how do you define/interpret ∧"

So propositional logic can make choices/decisions.The very ability to make choices/decisions.
But Prolog is computable predicate logic in the form of clausal logic, i.e. horn clause logic with resolution?Of course you can convert Predicate logic to Prolog. That is what Turing-completeness means. Universality.
The opposite is not true.
You can’t convert all Prolog to FOL.
Of course you can do all of these shenanigans/workarounds in the special case. But you aren't solving the problem - you are paving over it. And sure enough - you will succeed for the simple cases we have at hand.

By the by after a nights sleep I realised Predicate Logic is FOL.
What did you mean by 'Classical Logic', literally Aristotles way of writing it?
Your issue seemed to be that because of the equality sign and its transitivity you could get an improbable conclusion but you can have predicate logic without equality and when your propositions are formulated in it you cannot derive your conclusion so I'm at a loss what the problem is?

Waffle.

Agreed, what the transitive property observes is that all variables exist through a medial variable that effectively unifies the seperate variables, but these seperate variables exist as grades of the original variable. The transitive property, "ie transition as direction", necessitates all logic as premised in spatial direction as an identity property in and of itself.
And "=" isn't a logical symbol. If you use it, you need to define it.Logik wrote: ↑Sat Feb 23, 2019 12:01 am Here are the list of symbols you are allowed to use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logic_symbols
Still, again, if you defined "=" in the usual sense then the argument would be valid
And this one would be valid too,Premise 1. A = C;
Premise 2. B = C;
Therefore, A = B.
Again, where's the problem?Premise 1. John = human;
Premise 2. Jane = human;
Therefore, John = Jane.

No problem.
