• William T. Parry gets rid of Disjunction introduction

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is
    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In
    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implicationrCogiven that it is
    famously featured in LewisrCO derivation of an arbitrary
    formula -e from a contradiction of the form -o reo -4-o.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    As I recently showed in another post. I figured
    all this out on my own. I didn't even know that
    anyone else ever did this. I just knew that when
    trying to find out what is deduced from a set of
    premises that you cannot pop in another sentence
    from out of nowhere and get a correct conclusion.

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere
    (as it shows above) the principle of explosion is
    derived.

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere
    (as it shows above) the principle of explosion is
    derived.

    The usual meaning of proof is a sequence of statement where
    eachstatement either is a premis or follows from one or more earlier
    statements by a truth-preserving transformation. Or-intrduction
    discussed above is a truth-preserving transformation.

    As I recently showed in another post. I figured
    all this out on my own. I didn't even know that

    trying to find out what is deduced from a set of
    premises that you cannot pop in another sentence
    from out of nowhere and get a correct conclusion.


    Given that the following statement is true:

    --------------------------------------
    There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.
    --------------------------------------

    And the following statement has an unknown truth value:
    --------------------------------------
    There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.
    --------------------------------------

    When put together in the following natural language sentence:

    --------------------------------------
    At least one of the following statements is true:
    - Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    - There is a Walmart bag at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench.
    --------------------------------------

    Is the condition "At least one of the following statements is true"
    satisfied?


    You either are not bright enough to understand
    the deep meaning of Disjunction introduction or
    you are playing head games. Unless you want an
    honest dialogue please fuck off.



    Why is it a head game? It's a simple question:

    Is the condition "At least one of the following statements is true"
    satisfied?

    Not answering this question can only be seen as dishonest. Do you
    intend to be dishonest?

    Copy/paste error above: the following statement is given as true:

    --------------------------------------
    Earth is the third planet from the sun. --------------------------------------




    The "conjunctive normal form" (CNF) is a rather simple thing,
    being able to write things in terms of "AND" instead of "OR",
    for things like satisfiability (SAT problems, SAT solvers),
    that in terms of

    AND

    and

    OR

    and sometimes

    XOR

    and not so often

    NOR and XNOR

    with the

    NOT

    being a sort of predicate while then the above are combinators
    and operators, point being CNF while it simplifies some things,
    makes other things impossible, basically limits and completions.


    So, "getting rid of it" as part of the "term-free, constant-free, variable-free, parameter-free", also loses some expressive power,
    so this is also broken open and "PO" will again have to find a
    new one, as Prawitz et alia's "recovery" is an extensions, and
    this Parry's "truncation" is a fragment.

    Nobody needs "eliminating disjunctive introduction" to
    cut out "material implication" and its fiend "principle of explosion",
    it's like saying gonads are dirty and the best solution is to
    have them removed. It's like when people have prostatitis and
    end up getting prostatectomies when they should work it out.

    Rejected, as you not liking the result doesn't make it invalid.

    Through a series of truth preserving operations, when a contradiction is
    given as true, any statement can be proven as true.

    The principle of explosion is a demonstration of *why* a formal system
    whose axioms lead to a contradiction is useless.

    The only reason someone would want to get rid of the principle of
    explosion is to be able to use a system that has a contradiction.

    topic.


    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the
    Principle of Explosion.


    Rejected, as you not liking the result doesn't make it invalid.

    Through a series of truth preserving operations, when a contradiction is given as true, any statement can be proven as true.

    The principle of explosion is a demonstration of *why* a formal system
    whose axioms lead to a contradiction is useless.

    The only reason someone would want to get rid of the principle of
    explosion is to be able to use a system that has a contradiction.


    Given that you still haven't responded to this, I (and others reading
    this) can only conclude that you agree that Disjunction introduction is
    valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion.

    it to get rid of anything and everything that prevents

    If you get rid of the principle of explosion, the law of non-

    Which you can't do because it's a truth-preserving operation.

    When you insert English meanings into the

    as a pie in the fact the DI IS NOT TRUTH PRESERVING.

    So you're saying that in the following natural language statement:

    --------------------------------------
    At least one of the following statements is true:
    - Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    - <X>
    --------------------------------------

    Where <X> is any natural language statement, there exists a statement X
    such that the condition "At least one of the following statements is
    true" is false.

    Name it.

    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

    Given that the following natural language statement is true:

    --------------------------------------
    Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    --------------------------------------

    In the following natural language statement:

    --------------------------------------
    At least one of the following statements is true:
    - Earth is the third planet from the sun.

    Where <X> is any natural language statement, does there exist a

    Where X is "What time is it?"



    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    We have a type mismatch error.



    The statement you gave isn't a truth-bearing statement, so it can't be
    used in logic. I didn't think I had to make that explicit.

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the point.

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    We have a type mismatch error.



    The statement you gave isn't a truth-bearing statement, so it can't be
    used in logic.-a I didn't think I had to make that explicit.

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the point.

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?


    On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you.

    Given that <X> is any *truth bearing* natural language statement, does
    there exist a statement X such that the condition "At least one of the following statements is true" is false?

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    We know that "All lemons are yellow", as it has been assumed to be true.

    Therefore, the two-part statement "All lemons are yellow or unicorns exist"

    Can you prove that there are no uniconrns in any world where all lemons
    are yellow and some lemons are not yellow?

    A system with contradictory postulates has no model. Therefore no

    Through a series of truth preserving operations, when a contradiction
    is given as true, any statement can be proven as true.

    The principle of explosion is a demonstration of *why* a formal system
    whose axioms lead to a contradiction is useless.

    The only reason someone would want to get rid of the principle of
    explosion is to be able to use a system that has a contradiction.

    My reason to get rid of the principle of explosion
    it to get rid of anything and everything that prevents
    infallibly correct reasoning.

    The principle of explosion does not prevent infallible reasoning.
    It merely provides a simple way to detect and expose some failures
    to reason correctly.

    When you insert English meanings into the

    Name it.


    That is not Disjunction introduction combined with

    Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

    Given that the following natural language statement is true:

    --------------------------------------
    Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    --------------------------------------

    In the following natural language statement:

    --------------------------------------
    At least one of the following statements is true:

    - <X>
    --------------------------------------

    Where <X> is any natural language statement, does there exist a
    statement X such that the condition "At least one of the following
    statements is true" is false?


    Where X is "What time is it?"



    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    We have a type mismatch error.

    You made it. It's up to you to correct it. Or you can interprete
    any non-claim as false or assume a third thruth value.

    Where X is "What time is it?"



    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    We have a type mismatch error.



    The statement you gave isn't a truth-bearing statement, so it can't
    be used in logic.-a I didn't think I had to make that explicit.

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the
    point.

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?


    On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you.

    Given that <X> is any *truth bearing* natural language statement,
    does there exist a statement X such that the condition "At least one
    of the following statements is true" is false?

    Of course it is. It is Olcott's game.

    Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

    Given that the following natural language statement is true:

    --------------------------------------
    Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    --------------------------------------

    In the following natural language statement:

    --------------------------------------

    Where X is "What time is it?"



    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

    We have a type mismatch error.



    The statement you gave isn't a truth-bearing statement, so it can't
    be used in logic.-a I didn't think I had to make that explicit.

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the
    point.

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?


    On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you.

    Given that <X> is any *truth bearing* natural language statement,
    does there exist a statement X such that the condition "At least one
    of the following statements is true" is false?

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere

    Explain in detail how the below which you dishonestly trimmed is

    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the
    Principle of Explosion.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.

    That my proof to the contrary was simply erased
    is dishonest.

    No, it is not. To pretend having presented a proof when no proof
    has been presented is dishonest. As is to present false claims
    about a presented proof, or abaut anything.

    The comment
    In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.
    is perfectly honest.

    Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

    In the following natural language statement:

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the >>>>>> point.

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?


    On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you.

    Given that <X> is any *truth bearing* natural language statement,
    does there exist a statement X such that the condition "At least
    one of the following statements is true" is false?


    Head games will be ignored.

    Let the record show that Peter Olcott made the following post in this
    newsgroup:

    Q also can't bake a birthday cake, this does not make

    And more that one hour has passed with no attempt to answer the above
    question or explain why it is a head game.-a Therefore, as per the
    above criteria:

    Let The Record Show

    That Peter Olcott

    Has *Officially* Admitted:

    That Disjunction introduction is in fact truth preserving and valid,

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many

    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary

    So someone came up with a different system that has different rules.
    That has no bearing on existing systems.

    If you want to make up your own system, you need to throw out every that depends on any definition or rule that you changed and prove everything
    *from scratch*.

    As you've demonstrated on countless occasions, you don't even have a
    high school understanding of logic, so this is far beyond your abilities.

    In the system everyone works in, Disjunction introduction is truth
    preserving and valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion, as
    you have just admitted on the record above.

    So someone came up with a different system that has different rules.
    That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is that
    it corrects their psychotic break from reality that
    allows one to prove that Donald Trump is the one and
    only Lord and Savior on the basis of a totally irrelevant
    contradiction.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_logic
    Does this same sort of thing in that they limit logic
    in a different way. If the conclusion is semantically
    irrelevant to its premises then the conclusion is not
    derived.

    If you want to make up your own system, you need to throw out every that depends on any definition or rule that you changed and prove everything *from scratch*.


    In my system we toss out and reject any and all
    logical inference that is not semantic entailment.

    Good: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby has less hair.
    Bad: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby filled his gas tank.

    The Prolog way to look at this is that in any system
    when the expression x cannot reach Facts though its
    Rules counts as untrue.

    Prolog goes a step further with its "closed world"
    "negation as failure" assumption that unprovable means false.
    I only say that unprovable means untrue it does not
    mean false.

    As you've demonstrated on countless occasions, you don't even have a
    high school understanding of logic, so this is far beyond your abilities.

    In the system everyone works in, Disjunction introduction is truth preserving and valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion, as
    you have just admitted on the record above.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    And more that one hour has passed with no attempt to answer the
    above question or explain why it is a head game.-a Therefore, as per
    the above criteria:

    Let The Record Show

    That Peter Olcott

    Has *Officially* Admitted:

    That Disjunction introduction is in fact truth preserving and valid,
    and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion.



    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is

    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implicationrCogiven that it is
    famously featured in LewisrCO derivation of an arbitrary
    formula -e from a contradiction of the form -o reo -4-o.

    https://philarchive.org/archive/SZMASL


    So someone came up with a different system that has different rules.
    That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.



    that
    it corrects their psychotic break from reality that
    allows one to prove that Donald Trump is the one and
    only Lord and Savior on the basis of a totally irrelevant
    contradiction.

    It follows from a series of truth-preserving operations starting with
    the precondition that a contradiction has been proven, as you have
    admitted above on the record.


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_logic
    Does this same sort of thing in that they limit logic
    in a different way. If the conclusion is semantically
    irrelevant to its premises then the conclusion is not
    derived.

    If you want to make up your own system, you need to throw out every
    that depends on any definition or rule that you changed and prove
    everything *from scratch*.


    In my system we toss out and reject any and all
    logical inference that is not semantic entailment.

    Good: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby has less hair.
    Bad: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby filled his gas tank.

    The Prolog way to look at this is that in any system
    when the expression x cannot reach Facts though its
    Rules counts as untrue.

    Prolog goes a step further with its "closed world"
    "negation as failure" assumption that unprovable means false.
    I only say that unprovable means untrue it does not
    mean false.

    As you've demonstrated on countless occasions, you don't even have a
    high school understanding of logic, so this is far beyond your abilities.

    In the system everyone works in, Disjunction introduction is truth
    preserving and valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion,
    as you have just admitted on the record above.

    As I recently showed in another post. I figured

    anyone else ever did this. I just knew that when

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere
    (as it shows above) the principle of explosion is
    derived.

    The usual meaning of proof is a sequence of statement where

    Except with Disjunction introduction, that is its problem.

    So you're saying that in the following natural language statement:

    Principle of Explosion, otherwise it may

    Stay on topic or I will block you.

    Explain in detail how the below which you dishonestly trimmed is off-
    topic.


    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the
    Principle of Explosion.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.


    POE is unprovable in both of these more sensible systems
    of logic. The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    Model theory was created only because keeping semantics
    directly within logic at the time was too complicated.
    It did make logic easier to work with and it also made
    logic diverge from correct reasoning.

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude
    that "The Moon is made from green cheese" AND
    "The Moon is NOT made from green cheese" SEMANTICALLY
    PROVES that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord
    and Savior Jesus Christ.

    Relevance logic, also called relevant logic, is a
    kind of non-classical logic requiring the antecedent
    and consequent of implications to be relevantly related. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_logic

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    So someone came up with a different system that has different rules.
    That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.

    As I recently showed in another post. I figured
    all this out on my own. I didn't even know that
    anyone else ever did this. I just knew that when
    trying to find out what is deduced from a set of
    premises that you cannot pop in another sentence
    from out of nowhere and get a correct conclusion.

    By popping in another sentence from out of nowhere
    (as it shows above) the principle of explosion is
    derived.

    The usual meaning of proof is a sequence of statement where
    eachstatement either is a premis or follows from one or more
    earlier
    statements

    Except with Disjunction introduction, that is its problem.

    So you're saying that in the following natural language statement: >>>>>>

    It is a key issue in that it creates the
    psychotic break from reality known as the
    Principle of Explosion, otherwise it may
    make no difference at all.

    Stay on topic or I will block you.

    Explain in detail how the below which you dishonestly trimmed is
    off- topic.


    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the
    Principle of Explosion.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.

    POE is unprovable in both of these more sensible systems
    of logic.

    THe expression "these system" above does not denote.

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.

    Model theory was created only because keeping semantics
    directly within logic at the time was too complicated.
    It did make logic easier to work with and it also made
    logic diverge from correct reasoning.

    In a formal context the formal system specifies what reasoning is
    correct. In real world application the sules of ordinary logic are
    empirically correct, i.e., no situation is observed where the rules
    of logic are violated.

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude
    that "The Moon is made from green cheese" AND
    "The Moon is NOT made from green cheese" SEMANTICALLY
    PROVES that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord
    and Savior Jesus Christ.

    A proof in a formal system is a finite string that satisfies certain
    syntactic rules specifiec for the system. There is no reference to
    any semantics.

    Let the record show that Peter Olcott made the following post in
    this newsgroup:

    And more that one hour has passed with no attempt to answer the
    above question or explain why it is a head game.-a Therefore, as
    per the above criteria:

    Let The Record Show

    That Peter Olcott

    Has *Officially* Admitted:

    That Disjunction introduction is in fact truth preserving and
    valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion.



    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a

    So someone came up with a different system that has different rules.
    That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.


    Current semantic entailment is the only inference step allowed.

    Stay on topic or I will block you.

    Explain in detail how the below which you dishonestly trimmed is
    off- topic.


    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the
    Principle of Explosion.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.

    POE is unprovable in both of these more sensible systems
    of logic.

    THe expression "these system" above does not denote.


    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    Relevance Logic
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.


    Only because semantics is ignored.
    There is nothing semantically meaningful about a
    contradiction that derives anything at all besides FALSE.

    There is nothing semantically meaningful about FALSE
    that derives anything at all besides FALSE.

    Model theory was created only because keeping semantics
    directly within logic at the time was too complicated.
    It did make logic easier to work with and it also made
    logic diverge from correct reasoning.

    In a formal context the formal system specifies what reasoning is
    correct. In real world application the sules of ordinary logic are empirically correct, i.e., no situation is observed where the rules
    of logic are violated.


    The POE derives that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord
    and Savior Jesus Christ and Trump is not Christ therefore
    the POE is incorrect reasoning.

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude
    that "The Moon is made from green cheese" AND
    "The Moon is NOT made from green cheese" SEMANTICALLY
    PROVES that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord
    and Savior Jesus Christ.

    A proof in a formal system is a finite string that satisfies certain syntactic rules specifiec for the system. There is no reference to
    any semantics.


    It makes the huge mistake of ignoring semantics.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    Counter-factual

    For logic the distinction between factual and counter-factual is not
    as imortant as the distinction between consistent and contradictory.
    As long as the premises are consistent they may be true about
    somesituation even if they are false in the intended interpretation. Contradictory premises cannot be all true in any interpretation.
    From contradictory or otherwise false premises it is possible to
    infer both true and false conclusions.

    rules. That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.


    Current semantic entailment is the only inference step allowed.

    Every truth-prserving transformation is a correct semantic entailment.
    In particular, disjunction introduction is.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.

    THe expression "these system" above does not denote.


    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    Relevance Logic
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.

    Only because semantics is ignored.

    A break from reality is a break from reality, no matter whether
    the semantics is ignored or considered. Though if there is no
    semantics, even any ignored one, there is no connection to
    reality to break.

    Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

    Given that the following natural language statement is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> true:

    Earth is the third planet from the sun.
    --------------------------------------

    In the following natural language statement: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> true?

    We have a type mismatch error.

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still

    So I'll ask again:

    Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" >>>>>>>>>>>>> true?


    On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you. >>>>>>>>>>>>

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is

    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implicationrCogiven that it is
    famously featured in LewisrCO derivation of an arbitrary
    formula -e from a contradiction of the form -o reo -4-o.

    https://philarchive.org/archive/SZMASL


    So someone came up with a different system that has different
    rules. That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.



    that
    it corrects their psychotic break from reality that
    allows one to prove that Donald Trump is the one and
    only Lord and Savior on the basis of a totally irrelevant
    contradiction.

    It follows from a series of truth-preserving operations starting
    with the precondition that a contradiction has been proven, as you
    have admitted above on the record.

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude
    that "The Moon is made from green cheese" AND
    "The Moon is NOT made from green cheese" SEMANTICALLY
    PROVES that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord
    and Savior Jesus Christ.

    How do you know that somewhere the Moon is made from green cheese and
    the Moon is not made from green cheese and Donald Trump is not the one
    and only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?


    Counter-factual

    For logic the distinction between factual and counter-factual is not
    as imortant as the distinction between consistent and contradictory.

    Counter-factual may indicate a psychotic break from reality.

    As long as the premises are consistent they may be true about
    some situation even if they are false in the intended interpretation. Contradictory premises cannot be all true in any interpretation.
    From contradictory or otherwise false premises it is possible to
    infer both true and false conclusions.

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is

    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implicationrCogiven that it is
    famously featured in LewisrCO derivation of an arbitrary
    formula -e from a contradiction of the form -o reo -4-o.

    https://philarchive.org/archive/SZMASL


    So someone came up with a different system that has different
    rules. That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.


    Current semantic entailment is the only inference step allowed.

    Every truth-prserving transformation is a correct semantic entailment.
    In particular, disjunction introduction is.


    That is counter-factual. POE is misconstrued as truth preserving.
    Every element of logic is utterly discarded and only the underlying
    semantics is preserved.

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.

    POE is unprovable in both of these more sensible systems
    of logic.

    THe expression "these system" above does not denote.


    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    Relevance Logic
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.

    Only because semantics is ignored.

    A break from reality is a break from reality, no matter whether
    the semantics is ignored or considered. Though if there is no
    semantics, even any ignored one, there is no connection to
    reality to break.


    Ignoring semantics is always a break from reality.

    It was dead-obviously correct to anyone paying

    However, let's go with it anyway because it still

    So I'll ask again:

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    to prevent the principle of explosion

    A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
    systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is

    the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
    sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In

    other words, the principle leading from a formula -o to a
    disjunction of the form -o re? -e, where -e is an arbitrary
    formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
    of the paradoxes of strict implicationrCogiven that it is
    famously featured in LewisrCO derivation of an arbitrary
    formula -e from a contradiction of the form -o reo -4-o.

    So someone came up with a different system that has different
    rules. That has no bearing on existing systems.


    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.


    Current semantic entailment is the only inference step allowed.

    Every truth-prserving transformation is a correct semantic entailment.
    In particular, disjunction introduction is.


    That is counter-factual. POE is misconstrued as truth preserving.

    False, as you have admitted on the record (see below):

    My 28 year goal has been to make
    "true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
    reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
    The complete structure of this system is now defined.

    The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
    comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
    (a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

    My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
    expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
    language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

    (b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
    entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

    it corrects their psychotic break from reality that

    It follows from a series of truth-preserving operations starting

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude

    Counter-factual

    For logic the distinction between factual and counter-factual is not
    as imortant as the distinction between consistent and contradictory.

    Counter-factual may indicate a psychotic break from reality.

    No, it does not. It is much more common than anything psychotic.
    Besudes, any mention of anything psychotic is off-topic in these
    groups.

    The bearing that it has on existing systems is

    None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

    One can construct a system where a truth-preserving operation is not
    valid, and must if one wants to construct a paraconsistent system,
    where some but not every sentence can be both PTS-true and PTS-false.


    Current semantic entailment is the only inference step allowed.

    Every truth-prserving transformation is a correct semantic entailment.
    In particular, disjunction introduction is.

    That is counter-factual. POE is misconstrued as truth preserving.

    No, it is not. Nobody has claimed that POE preserves anythjing. The
    iimportance of POE is in what it reveals.

    POE is the equivalnet of the common understanding that a liar cannot
    be trusted even though a good liar tells the truth more often than a
    lie.

    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    Relevance Logic
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.

    Only because semantics is ignored.

    A break from reality is a break from reality, no matter whether
    the semantics is ignored or considered. Though if there is no
    semantics, even any ignored one, there is no connection to
    reality to break.


    Ignoring semantics is always a break from reality.

    So is any semantics other than real world semantics.

    If the intent was to include that in the denotation you failed

    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication
    and Relevance logic are two sensible systems

    Getting rid of the principle of explosion makes as much sense as

    Counter-factual

    For logic the distinction between factual and counter-factual is not
    as imortant as the distinction between consistent and contradictory.

    Counter-factual may indicate a psychotic break from reality.

    No, it does not. It is much more common than anything psychotic.
    Besudes, any mention of anything psychotic is off-topic in these
    groups.


    x = "The Moon is made from green cheese"
    y = "Donald Trump is the one and only Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
    POE concludes (x reo -4x) reo y

    "the principle of explosion is the theorem according to
    which any statement can be proven from a contradiction" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion

    When you pay attention to the meaning of the words
    and correctly apply correct semantic entailment on
    the basis of the meaning of those words then the
    principle of explosion is a PSYCHOTIC BREAK FROM REALITY.
    Relevance logic solved this by requiring relevance. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
    gets rid of Disjunction introduction
    https://philarchive.org/archive/SZMASL
    So that a new premise cannot be inserted in
    a chain-of-reasoning from out of nowhere

    The terrible mistake that logic made was to remove
    semantics from logical inference. This does result in
    a PSYCHOTIC BREAK FROM REALITY, making it relevant to
    these groups.

    Also the computation groups are relevant to sci.logic
    and sci.math because computation exposes gaps in the
    reasoning that logic and math assumes away.

    Explain in detail how the below which you dishonestly trimmed >>>>>>>>> is off- topic.


    The topic is how Disjunction introduction enables the

    It does not. In any sensible logic every tautology is provable.
    Then the principle of explosion follows.

    POE is unprovable in both of these more sensible systems
    of logic.

    THe expression "these system" above does not denote.


    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication

    Relevance Logic
    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-relevance/

    The POE is an actual psychotic break from
    reality when one pays full and complete attention to
    the underlying semantics and does not stupidly take
    semantics out of logic and put it in a separate model.

    No, it is not. The principle of explosion is about consequencies
    of a false premise, which already is a break from reality even
    when no consequence is inferred.

    Only because semantics is ignored.

    A break from reality is a break from reality, no matter whether
    the semantics is ignored or considered. Though if there is no
    semantics, even any ignored one, there is no connection to
    reality to break.


    Ignoring semantics is always a break from reality.

    So is any semantics other than real world semantics.


    Hypotheticals are useful for making decisions.

    ParryrCOs logic of Analytic Implication
    and Relevance logic are two sensible systems
    that get rid of the Principle of Explosion.

    Getting rid of the principle of explosion makes as much sense as

    Only people having actual psychosis would conclude

    Counter-factual

    For logic the distinction between factual and counter-factual is not
    as imortant as the distinction between consistent and contradictory.

    Counter-factual may indicate a psychotic break from reality.

    No, it does not. It is much more common than anything psychotic.
    Besudes, any mention of anything psychotic is off-topic in these
    groups.
