1. a
gradient scale of
association of facts of greater or lesser similarity made to
resolve some
problem of the
past, present or
future, but mainly to
resolve and predict the
future. Logic is the combination of
factors into an answer.
(Scn 8 8008, p. 46)2. the
gradient scale and comparisons of
data which
work out a
smooth network of
terminals and
communication lines which
deliver data in a
prediction of
future form or
theta beingness.
(Spr Lect 6, 5303CM25)3.
primitive logic was one-valued. Everything was assumed to be the
product of a divine will, and there was no obligation to decide the
rightness or
wrongness of anything. Most logic added up merely to the
propitiation of the gods.
Aristotle formulated two-valued logic. A thing was either
right or
wrong. This
type of logic is used by the
reactive mind. In the present
day, engineers are using a sort of three-valued logic which contains the
values of
right,
wrong, and
maybe. From three-valued logic we
jump to an infinityvalued logic—a
spectrum which moves from infinite
wrongness to infinite
rightness.
(NOTL, p. 17)4. rationalism, for all logic is based upon the somewhat idiotic circumstance that a being that is
immortal is trying to
survive.
(Scn 8-8008, p. 47)5. the
subject of reasoning.
