![]() ![]() Logic or reasons can be said to be when you recognize the causal relationship between cognitive entities, their values, their various implications, and ultimate nature of said cognitive entities as a result of their interactions. When we apply this logic to other things, we call it “Reasoning”. We learn logic through its principles and then apply what we learn about it to other things. ![]() Logic is an external kind of intelligence that exists without the need for a person to serve as a controller for it. For instance, your intelligence allows you to tell the difference between red and blue and understand the analytical and synthetic relationship between the two in terms of the color purple. It's the “natural” ability to differentiate between different cognitive entities and recognize the patterns in which said entities present themselves (analysis). Logic is similar to intelligence however, Intelligence is easy to define once you get past all the philosophizing about intelligence. In order to continue, I think it is first necessary to explain exactly what kind of logic is being described. However, in most cases of the logical "-ductions" (induction, deduction, abduction), few things are presented in such simple terms as superposition and often a line needs to be drawn between premises and conclusions in order to close "the gap" and avoid creating monsters (like "gods") of the gap. ![]() Much in the same way subatomic quanta exists as both waves and particles at the same time and we understand wave-particle duality as a single unit. And there is no need to draw a line between A and B to establish why this relationship exists. For example, if A is the state of being male and B is the state of death, then Tomas who is both male and dead is AB, both A and B at the same time. In modern many-valued logic, this is expressed as AB, being both A and B at the same time. The shortest distance between two points, in all physics, information theory, and logic, is "superposition", a state or condition in which point A and point B occupy the same coordinates of space and time simultaneously, or the same information vector without disrupting the identity of either. But for benefit, not detriment.įor instance, the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line. The principle of parsimony is therefore about being cheap and miserly with your applied logic. In phylogenetics, for example, the preferred tree showing evolutionary relationships between species, molecules, or other entities is the one that requires the least amount of evolutionary change, that is, maximum parsimony.// The principle that the most acceptable explanation of an occurrence, phenomenon, or event is the simplest, involving the fewest entities, assumptions, or changes. The full definition of the principle of parsimony: Neither of these are actually entirely correct on their own and require some elaboration. When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.// Spock on Star Trek, you will remember this principle expressed as: If you are a fan of the popularized versions of Sherlock Holmes or Mr. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.// The simplest interpretation of the principle of parsimony is often stated as: This (the graphic) is the ultimate expression of logic, illustrating the principle of parsimony - also known as the principle of "economy of thought" in informal logic, or more popularly, "Occam's Razor".
