Thread Name: BS: Logic and the laws of science
Subject: RE: BS: Logic and the laws of science
Logic differentiates, for one thing, in the number of values it permits in assessing an idea.

Monotheism admits of a single value: "God's will".

Dual-valued logic such as Manichean values allow two: good/bad, true/false.

Binary systems engineering includes three: true/false/don't care (or "maybe")

The logic of living beings is infinitely valued, seeing that one proposition can be a little more "good" or a little more "true" depending on the context and its variables. It treats all truth scales as infinite graduations.

Of these, the latter is the only one suited for dealing with real life. The others require synthetic environments of one sort or another to work.
