Landscape of Truth
What is your relationship to truth? I am collecting our answers to map out the Landscape of Truth.
Mapping out the landscape of truth
Welcome to Math 4 Wisdom: Considering our relationships with truth
Notes
In the landscape of truth, the imagination is the realm of what is possible but not actual. It complements the actual. Where is the bottleneck, near the source?
- Absolute truth is the source of truth. Relative truth is "reflected" truth like reflected light or reemitted light.
- There are two channels - for the conscious mind and the unconscious mind.
- What is the context of context? In what sense is context "everything" for Kirby?
- What is metaphor? How does metaphor relate the conscious and the unconscious?
- Group structural realism.
- Structural losses, structural realism and the stability of Lie algebras Jorge Manero (Jimmy)
- Anekantavada in Jainism.
- The empty category is the initial category and is identified with the truth value False. This is compatible with the idea that we start with contradiction.
- Certain strategies may leverage multiple layers of the truth landscape that others do not so there may be a hierarchy or perhaps a cycle.
- Holmes performed not just deduction, which works from a hypothesis to a conclusion. His great skill was induction, which works in the opposite direction, from evidence to hypothesis. Another of his famous quotes suggests his modus operandi: “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Having induced several hypotheses, Holmes eliminated them one by one in order to deduce (by elimination) the correct one. Although induction and deduction go hand in hand, the former is by far the more mysterious. This fact kept detectives like Sherlock Holmes in business.
