[MD] An experiment

[T-REXX Techs]

Andre,

The various ways you showed, in Issue 11, how DQ escapes our linguistic and
intellectual constraints gave me an idea.  Here's something that came to me
sort of "dynamically", and I'd like to try it out here.  It may be total
nonsense or total crap.  I just want to throw it out there and see if it
does anything.

 

Linguistic and Logical Analysis of the Concept of DQ

 

            From the totality of my experience and perceptions of my world
my intellect abstracts a concept to which I apply the word-symbol DQ.

 

            The concept corresponding to the word DQ is such there are no
logical contradictions in, or among, any of the following statements.

 

1.         The concept corresponding to the word DQ does not lack content
and does not contain the object of the concept which corresponds to the word
DQ and has no other content.

 

2.         Any concept which does not lack content contains the content of
the concept corresponding to the word DQ and does not contain the object of
the concept corresponding to the word DQ.

 

3.         The concept corresponding to the word DQ does not lack an object
and does not objectify the content of the concept corresponding to the word
DQ and has no other object.

 

4.         Any concept which does not lack an object has as object the
object of the concept corresponding to the word DQ and does not objectify
the content of the concept corresponding to the word DQ.

 

5.         The following statements are logically false:

            a.         There is a DQ.

            b.         There is no DQ.

            c.         DQ is not.

            d.         Any statement of the form "DQ [verb] [predicate]."

 

6.         The following statement is logically true:

            DQ is.

 

7.         The following statements are logically contingent upon the
content of the concept corresponding to the expression A:

            a.         DQ [A], where A is an active voice verb.

            b.         [A] is true of the content of the concept
corresponding to the     word DQ.

 

Again, I'm not committed to it, so don't take it as an assertion of
something I am embracing.  I just want to hear everyone's reaction, and I
won't argue with anyone who tells me I've been drinking too much of my own
bathwater.

 

Fraternally,
