reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA020798 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report presents a discussion of the age-old philosophical problem of change. The principle of the boundary identity of exact opposites is proposed as a fundamental correction to the logic law of the excluded middle. This fundamental principle is shown to resolve the philosophical problem of change, the wavecorpuscle dichotomy, and several other logical difficulties in foundations of mathematics and foundations of physics.
