Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of Complementary Logic (CL) and its implications for understanding mathematical infinity and logic systems. Participants explore the definitions, applications, and potential advantages of CL compared to traditional logic systems, particularly in relation to mathematics and real-world phenomena.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants question the validity of Complementary Logic, arguing that it lacks a clearly defined logical system and relies on vague terminology.
  • Others propose that CL could offer a new perspective by incorporating the relationships between opposing concepts, potentially leading to innovative models in mathematics and technology.
  • One participant emphasizes the importance of contradictions in logic, suggesting that a system without contradictions may not be useful for deriving meaningful conclusions.
  • There are claims that CL can handle non-linearity and construct natural numbers through complementary associations, although this is contested by others who argue that such constructions do not align with established mathematical properties.
  • Some participants express skepticism about the relevance of CL to mathematics, asserting that traditional logic is designed to abstract from real-world complexities.
  • Concerns are raised about the implications of CL for moral and ethical considerations in technology, suggesting that mathematics should reflect the complexities of real-world interactions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally disagree on the validity and applicability of Complementary Logic. While some see potential in its framework, others challenge its definitions and relevance to traditional mathematics.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of a formal definition of Complementary Logic, unresolved questions about its mathematical foundations, and the dependence on undefined terms that complicate the discussion.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to those exploring alternative logical systems, the philosophy of mathematics, and the intersection of technology and ethics in mathematical applications.

Paradigms don't change, they shift. When someone comes up with a revolutionary new way to do things or to think about things, it's just that... a NEW way to do things or to think about things.

If, indeed, you are bringing about a paradigm shift in mathematics, you do not alter any old mathematics!

No theoretical system can survive without being aware to its limitations.

It means that any x output can be only a model(X) input.

Shortly speaking, x=model(X).

Math is first of all a form of theory, therefore any concept that can be used by it is only a model(CONCEPT).

For example, let us take infinity concept.

If INF is infinity itself (= actual infinity) , then inf=model(INF)=potential infinity.

Please look at this model for better understanding:
http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/RiemannsLimits.pdf

In this way we first of all aware to our input limitations, which are:

No input = model(EMPTINESS) = lowest limit.

No input = model(FULLNESS) = highest limit.

If we translate this to set's representation then:

{} content = model(EMPTINESS) = lowest limit.

{__} content = model(FULLNESS) = highest limit.

Between these limits ({},{__}) we can find inf=model(INF)=potential infinity, where inf has two input forms:

{.} = singleton, which is a localized element.

{.__.} = non-singleton, which is a non-localized element (connect at least two different singletons).

{.} and {._.} can appear in two basic collections:

Collection {a, b, c} is finitely many elements.

Collection {a, b, c, ...} is infinitely many elements (=inf) .

Any non-empty collection which is not a singleton, is an association between {.} and {._.}, for example:
Code:
              b   b
             {a , a}    
              .   .  
              |   | 
              |___|_
              |    
                
           
             {a , b}    
              .   .  
              |   | 
              |___|
              |
