TEACHING TRUE LOGIC // Logic textbook
by Archimedes Plutonium
This is AP's #367 published book of science published on Internet, Plutonium-Atom-Universe,
PAU newsgroup is this.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/plutonium-atom-universe Author's Note: Far and away, this book has become my most difficult book to write, considering all the time it took for me to assemble it. Most of 2025 was in writing this textbook. The difficulty stems from the fact that I am revising the whole of the science Logic. Whereas in the other sciences that I write about are contributions and not full scale total revision of the science itself. And that task of revision requires coherent and consistent flow of logic thought, from beginning to end. As if every page is a step in a proof of mathematics. I could have written 40 new books of science in the amount of time it took me to write just this one textbook. And still I see myself going back on future dates, many many times just to fix this book.
I have another dilemma to solve in writing this textbook. I want to write a logic textbook without speaking of the mistakes made in the past on logic. Without mentioning that Old Logic messed up here, there, and almost everywhere and often was wrong on everything they did in logic. I would like to write a textbook on Logic saying directly-- this is the true truth-table of AND of OR, of Not-Equal, of If-->Then without mentioning the mistakes of the past made by Old Logic. For students that are young need not be bothered by past mistakes, and deserve to learn just what is ___true___. Let students with their young minds learn the truth about the world, and if they are interested in the past, they can explore it on their own time. A teacher should not waste the time of students by showing mistakes of the past. With this in mind, I am thinking that once I complete this textbook that is full of discussion on what Old Logic got wrong. I am thinking of rewriting this textbook and teaching the same subject with no mention of past mistakes, and no mention of "Old Logic". And leave it up to the Colleges and Universities to decide which of these two textbooks to teach to their classroom, is it Logic #367 showing past mistakes, or is it the #368 of Pure True Logic. Then of course, the 2nd year of college university logic is the textbook of Advanced Logic #369.
Preface: My #367 book, a textbook sorely needed since I keep telling students of science to take 2 years of College logic to help them think straight and clear throughout their lives. No point in taking logic from books that are saturated full of error. So, it is up to me to write the world's first correct Logic textbook, worthy of teaching in colleges and universities. It is not surprising that no-one with a Logical mind has come along until AP, to write the textbook of Logic.
This textbook is the first Logic textbook written by a person who has a logical mind-brain.
For decades now I increasingly encouraged all colleges and universities across the world to force science majors to mandatorily have to take 2 years of college Logic in order to help these scientists think straight and think clearly, at least that was the hope. But I had a huge problem with this requirement. No-one before me had a correct textbook of Logic which was mostly free of error and mistakes. The Boole and Jevons logic which I learned from while in college-- myself-- has all 4 of the simple Logic connectors in gross error.
You see, no-one with a logical mind has ever written a logic textbook. So how could I insist on a college and university requirement of all science majors to have 2 years of college logic, when no logic textbook free of gross errors and mistakes, exists? To remedy that dilemma, I write this Logic textbook and another on Advanced Logic.
Note to Teachers:: Try to make the tests be that of fill-in the blank as some examples are given in the chapters below. I feel that fill-in the blank tests can be further learning for students and teachers alike instead of the multiple choice test or the essay writing tests.
Cover picture: The Logic Syllogism-- All Matter is made up of the 114 chemical elements. The Universe is matter, hence the Universe is one single chemical element Atom that forms an Atom Totality. Plutonium fits the numbers of math and physics the best.
