I guess why the classical theory arises from deductive principles
which are unfounded, usually is via induction that "what would
be founded results inductively result that no theory is a theory".

Here I am mostly having adopted a very usual in fact old-fashioned
"all the canon and what philosophy has what reason arrives at logic",
for the usual post-Goedelian, that these days all the paradox of logic
is given to after Goedel, that there is no paradox that theories are true.

I mostly studied logic for foundations.

Here it is that mostly I assign the classical and modern and then
for direction: have it go through itself again, so it's classical
and modern again: instead of for example letting it out to
the computational. I.e., where "the computational" is
"the easy part" instead of "that it's paradoxical has it easier".

I.e., usual if large regular fragments of ZF for "set-like objects"
here what make for the unipotential or under concerns,
here with sets and partitions in models of real numbers with
my modern definitions of real numbers, for foundations
these are put back into the foundations, these as primitives.

So, I am mostly perfectly correct of course though that
it is a striking damnation - that just because it works out
in theory that there's no paradox to have a perfectly good
grasp of all theory that such hubris is easily damned -
it's perfect in theory what all natural theory has an
explanation as I've usually writ - that all perfect
theory naturally arises itself - why not it wouldn't.

Along for being "correct", if perfect - there's of course
both the outline and detail, foundations of course,
I mostly study the foundations and write in it.

Primitives aren't "unfounded". Induction indeed is basic to our
rationality, quite more fundamental than any logical method, and it is
the opposite of a give up: no-theory is just not-a-theory.

Truth is relative to interpretation. Perfection in the Void? That goes
without saying... You are not even old-fashioned: your theoretics
remains plain vacuous and, in that, fundamentally counter-factual.

But I think I had said that already...

The classical theory of _what_?
--
Just as 'beautiful' points the way for aesthetics and 'good' for ethics,
so do words like 'true' for logic. All sciences have truth as their
goal; but logic is also concerned with it in a quite different way:
logic has much the same relation to truth as physics has to weight or
heat. Frege in 'Thoughts' (Der Gedanke)

The classical theory of intuitionistic logic?
Or maybe the intuitionistic translation of classical logic?

So that the intuitionistic translation provides
a classical theory of its own intuitionism.

The classical theory usually for logic and geometry,
for example there is mostly Aristotle and Euclid.

Atomism - not far behind.

Here I have made modern continuum mechanics -
now under three instead of one "definition of continuous",
then with regards to signal recomposition versus measure.

It is an axiomless logic also as I have described.
(The geometry.)

I am finding deriving Euclidean geometry what is classical,
this way with my modern theories.

(Which is one theory.)

You know, don't you, that Aristotle's logic was very limited? In
particular, it is quite useless for formalizing mathematics.

WM the greatest moron on earth. No that is not
what is said. But Aristoteles term logic is weaker
than FOL or HOL, etc.. Since it features only monadic

predicates. Its basically a subset of monadic logic
i.e. first order logic with unary predicates only:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begriffslogik

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_logic

But Aristoteles and the Greeks did not only found
term logic, this is also a fallacy.

Euclid is a nice example. His background logic is not
only based on monadic logic. Many predicates for the
euclidean plane have a greater arity than only one.

To attribute uselessness to Aristole's logic is also
an exageration. After all you can reason for example:

all prime numbers are natural numbers
7 is a prime number

7 is a natural number

Which is difficult in WM logic. What if there are dark numbers,

That's fair. Fast forward to Frege, it's mostly rules for derivations of what
result as (direct) implications quite throughout modus ponens and modus tollens
of course, square of opposition and such, according to a brief formalization
then after the ordinariness of transfinite sets, the extra-ordinary.

(What makes for axiomatics as syllogistic.)


About physics, it's not so far-fetched what it's a "theory of truth",
some truth of what results a logical mathematical universe -
for what as a system of mathematics it could eventually be
theoretical besides of course the usual empirical most for which
in matters of their relevant interpretation of physics suffices.

That "the theory" as logic is affirmatory and all in what results
then for identifity, tautology, ..., formula, that it plainly is a
"theory of truth" helps for interpretations like "there are no
paradoxes of logic only prototypes of improper derivation",
eg that in our ordinary "modern" world then (say, since Goedel),
it's a regular fragment of a usual ordinary universe like ZF set theory's.

That is missing the point - I don't care yet still put the next in line.

Let us remember that one post where in any number of tirades
for which Julio can blame me - let's make it clear that anything
less than contemptuous rejection would be fair to such an affront
as some usual "definition of theory".

Because of course in definition of theory rests all what's affrontable.

So it's fair that he totally rejects the context or here swears at it.

Or, reading this, I put myself here.

That of course anyone else can do for themself also, or for example,
knowing my opinion and authority on such objective matters, reading
the slate as it were - later at least I can stumble over this and swear
I swore over it.

I hold understanding in foundations in very high opinion (and regard).
The semiotics of these things is mostly important, so I simply hold
this in usual high regard.

It does not deal with empty subjects, i.e. it does not deal with vacuous

The fascinating thing about monadic logic, it is
a decidable fragment of FOL. So if all your predicates
are unary, a finite theory of such axioms, becomes

decidable. Thats kind of amazing, that Aristoteles in
his exposition chose a decidable logic. Maybe its the
most used logic in common sense, because it is

decidable? A folk corollary is as follows:

Folk Corollary from Monadic Logic Decidability:
- An undecidable FOL theory must have at least have
one predicate which is not unary.

Lets make a reality check, give an example, which
is not meant as a proof, only an illustration, take
FOL+ZFC, ZFC has indeed a predicate which

isn't unary and ZFC is undecidable.
The membership relation ∈ is binary!!

I just keep tipping up the slate of paradox/no-paradox and
infinity/infinity-infinity, must be foundations.

I luxuried study in the types and so when there is inspection
and reflection on the mathematical objects, there are all the
paradoxes of the mathematics and logic which results in objects
what so confirm for example for geometry all their truth besides
how it's possibly comprehensible, if at all.

I.e., the paradoxes like Zeno's, or the paradox of motion,
are simply laws either way with respect to what must be time.
Still, motion in geometry is for the usual _objective_, i.e. that
geometry the theory allows theory is objective. (If not "my theory",
subjective, "the theory sublime to any other theory including mine",
objective.)

So it's a luxury when "for my theory what is actually sublime to
this formalism where paradox means stop not build a bridge to
the other side of complete objective formality", it's what foundations
is relevant or not for the applied, that these total questions in theory
are just mindless inference.

Then for countability/uncountability or "infinity / no, infinity",
I already had a clock hypothesis besides a lattice hypothesis,
so uncountability in finite domains is largely about combinatorics,
besides what the continuous is sublime to it. For "no paradox"
then is laws both ways, all real numbers.


Going from Cartesian what are the usual inner products about
that going from binary, 0-1, to any more values in the valency of
the logic from the multi-valued or multi-valent not being the
bi-valent Cartesian case, I define my functions regularly as
Cartesian about the Cantorian.

For example, where for function theory is defined for the
actual case in continuum mechanics about Descartes' lattice
in space and Cantor's lattice in space, each the same space
in ordinals, it's a usual result after primary function theory.
(In foundations.)


So, the slate for uncountability is a raft of results, what for
the usual conscientious formalist admit of course all sound
reason and that most outstanding questions, in mathematics,
often these days for example reflect questions about infinity
and continuum mechanics.

Thanks, I had enough time here to study foundations for its
own sake as much as usual for example matters what take
less time - that when people have issues or notice usual total
grand facts about things that I also found so profound and
of course for example confirming larger logic must be correct,
I mostly of course wrote immediately whatever possibly I could
use in a sentence that could possibly advance my "cause".

(What is to have written a foundations.)

It's an idealism.

Continuity and the mathematical foundation of the continuous,
more than less connects geometry and arithmetic with continuity.

Of course then studying the canon to understand what is the
relayed wisdom of continuity, it takes a while to understand
Eudoxus/Dedekind/Cauchy, for a usual standard curriculum in
real analysis and its foundations, and with respect to set theory
and indiscernibles, then about that "classical infinitesimals" of
the sort like fluxions or the differential, needed a more direct
placement in the center of things as a prototypical line segment
with respect to constant motion and continuity.

About the continuous and discrete, then finding for example all
these properties of the "natural/unit equivalency function" with
respect to real-functions and here not-a-real-function-but-a-function-
nonetheless, and about how ordinary set theory's functions are
Cartesian while for example this one isn't, makes that then: in
such a study, there arise plentiful what otherwise would be paradoxes,
that are instead resolved via distinction of form, here with at least
three models of all real numbers each as different sets, it's found that
the resulting more replete character of the reals is better defined and
that a "foundation" for continuity doesn't lack them.

Also "ex falso nihilum" not "ex falso quodlibet".

Then, besides the unique and surprising probabilitistic and differential
character(s) of this central function, after that it is a spiral space-filling
curve this line-drawing as what makes for an origin anywhere, for
singularity theory for the origin besides the asymptote, then also there
is the factorial/exponential identity after what these days is called Ramsey
theory, to help explain and indeed provide a foundation for, the quasi-
invariant in modern measure theory. (And from having written a measure
theory and fundamental theorems for calculus for these line reals after
field reals, that of course formally they must satisfy embodying the
analytical character of the real numbers and all what results in the
hypercomplex numbers.)

So, it's an idealism with a fortuity of having found the formal development
in such a state: perceived lacking these things mentioned above, and having
basically penchant, interest, and time.

The point is that "material implication" with its false antecedent
is not a proper derivation rule, in terms of a usual stroke or strike
in the validity of tableau that result formulas.

Then with regards to the unit line segment as a prototypical
countable continuous domain, or ran(EF), it's as among matters
of mathematical fact what conscientious formalists should find.

But material implication is not a derivation rule, material implication is a binary operator, indeed with truth table. So no, you are conflating things, material implication and provability are just not the same thing: and then neither of them, and not even theoremhood, i.e. mathematical truth, are yet logic proper.

Sure, in the negative. Your point being?

1/0 = infinity

(Wait for it....)

Infinity the usual lemniscate or oo as it's written, of course there's a
theory of limits about fixed-point that infinity is written as among
quantities, here instead it's almost easier to define infinitesimals
before defining naturals, what result that all the infinitesimals together
is one just like all the naturals together (one for each) is infinity.

Of course, these aren't "standard" real numbers: but there are only
and everywhere elements of the continuum in (0,1), so, when there
are infinity-many infinitesimals (and no less) then these "iota-values",
where iota-values are these standard infinitesimals, they sum to one.

It's a "scalar" infinity then in a sense, and of course back in the standard
arithmetic and algebra, infinity is usually enough left out, while it's still
reflected in the structure of a linear continuum's unit line segment. (1.0.)

lim n->d d->oo (n/d) = 1

This function EF from naturals 0, ... to segment [0,1] then results it's 1-1 and onto.

(Extent, density, completeness, measure, ... = countable continuous domain.)



False antecedents don't belong in truth tables.

I find that's a good starting point in many ways:

oo := 0^(-1)

Hence, reciprocally: oo^(-1) = 0

It's a good starting point in the sense that, as seen with the surreal
numbers, standard infinite ordinals are the reciprocals of
infinitesimals, not of Zero! (*) Which is not surprising if one
considers that *all* standard infinite sets, not just the set of natural
numbers, are *potentially* infinite sets. The Infinity we are talking
about here is *absolute*, aka actual infinity, indeed the reciprocal of
Zero.
(*) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number#Infinity>

Still, how do we define succ(oo), whence the arithmetic? Notice that,
if succ(oo) := oo, as it should be (...), we quickly run into problems,
e.g.:

oo = oo + 1 <==> 0 = 1
oo = 2 * oo <==> 1 = 2

We could restrict the algebra, we could require that one "absorbs" all
finite quantities into the Infinities before the usual algebraic rules
can be applied:

oo = oo + 1 <==> oo = oo
oo = 2 * oo <==> oo = oo

Would that work? I am not readily aware of the (co-)implications.

> Of course, these aren't "standard" real numbers

The surreal numbers certainly "subsume" the standard real numbers, but I
don't know how calculus works with the surreal numbers, not even when
restricted to the standard real numbers. Is the definition of limit
even the same? Certainly worth investigating...

OTOH, notice that there is no Infinity proper in the surreal numbers
either: in fact, division by Zero remains undefined. Which is another
way to see that the relevant game with Infinity happens at the level of
the natural numbers already: to be clear, contra your insistence on
continuity, divisibility, the unit interval, etc.

> lim n->d d->oo (n/d) = 1

That can indeed be derived, more basic is: the limit of every
monotonically increasing sequence of natural numbers *is* oo. Period.
The "point at infinity".

> False antecedents don't belong in truth tables.

Still a meaningless statement, truth tables don't have "antecedents".

The theory of all: that counts.

For one thing, it does not seem to address the problem of what oo/oo
(equiv. oo*0, or 0/0) is. Maybe oo*0 = 0, which seems consistent with
how multiplication is defined inductively from (addition and,
eventually) successor.

Maybe... Where is a "conscientious formalist" when you need one?

Reading about Heidegger, what it seems to be is that there's a common single thread through
from Kant on down, it's the "sublime" of Kant, that what's offered is that besides the phenemenos,
there's at least one aspect to the sublime as from the noumenos, that makes itself presence in
all matters of form or "forms", that it's a natural mathematical continuum after numbers, what
results it exists as a thing (if, "in itself", also any other notion of "altogether", "as divides everything",
and otherwise "a rational strictly regular infinity"), this seems philosophy's failing point: not having
one of those from doing without the rest of the "noumenon" even as the plain fanciful.

I.e., Kant had to rely on at least one interface between his phenomenon and noumenon that exists
either way (subjectively objectively, relative absolute, ...), it's the "sublime" and reflect largely also
"the infinity of the numbers, and a regular infinity of a numbers". It evinces in all phenomenal as
being the "unbounding" itself, the "uncovering", "a-lethe-ia", while not "apeiron: full deconstructive"
but "apeiron: all structure".



Then Heidegger just seems sort of confused, while at the same time persistent, making a monumental
acknowledgment to all canon, yet never quite giving the impetus past the impasse, that also canon
provides, and when relying on energy and the entelechia from Aristotle's, more than rest and motion.

Heidegger's translations of Aristotle and Parmenides are appreciated, as are the translations of those,
but as Heidegger vacillates and not just "the turn", finds multiple readings in various ways, while still
all clothed in the tradition of dogma, yet also making the self-declaiming, there are generous and
ingenerous readings of Heidegger, including in his readings, his readings, ....

As you can tell, my goals include getting the entire crank Usenet, to agree I'm right,
then when it comes to surrounds, it results an entire crank fishbowl arguing I'm always right.

For example, I take crank junk and replace the words with surrounding, correct words,
then played to each other and themselves, correctly interprets "right" and "wrong",
simply making for a generous reading - nothing wrong with it.


"Who may well could be a fan of Scott, ..., who as a hedge though isn't very brave. "

Given that it's a sort of entire approach,

"I'd studied calculus and delta-epsilonics and knew there was more to it, when I found that
everything had been picked the one side of the un-attainable continuity, as from some
un-attained discreteness, then I went about establishing that there are more than the one
definition of completeness for continuity, for the usual milieu the real numbers."


"The Dana Scott fan club has a similar notion of "circle and box modalities",
and a usual appendage to modern-ish model theories add "the illative" or
as an infinite union besides pair-wise union, but then they about immediately
contradict each other, because neither will give."

See, the crank will only argue one way, ....

"... usual gibberish nobody cares about ...."

"... figuring they'll need a foundations besides their applied. "



It's said Quine's said Quine said Quine said... "Quine said, ...".


Thusly, by making a sort of simple change to the surrounds,
what results the sorts fishbowl, "modern foundations",
"results abound", it's like Quine says Scott says "that's a lattice".

See, now I have Quine and Scott in a fishbowl, and let them out in this one.





There's for Parmenides basically gender equity after Heidegger gets into
"those Greek gods are mythical" then that just before that that "myth" and
legend, was that "myth and legend" as "myth and word", or mythos and logos,
then gets into for Parmenides, "goddess is legend", after myth, reading Heidegger.

The immortal is also myth and legend, I'm telling you.

There's for Parmenides quite the rehabilitation of Aristotle,
what it's expected that science is to clean out the closet of
the ancient Greek's surviving works, having to reconnect
"energy" and "entelechy" as well-defined, and showing how
also they're well-defined under their definitions.

Here it's that "there's a continuum empty to full, so what's an
entelechy a fulfillment, is as so".



Then, yes, I'm pretty sure that I can engineer an entire fishbowl of that.
