Ouroboros Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Logic is simply an observation of reality. I don't know. I think nature has its own logic, so to speak, but the implications within a formal language could be radically different from the necessities of nature. That could be true. What you're suggesting is that the formal (symbolic) language is incomplete and restrictive and might not reflect reality completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A formal language could be so impoverished in implications so as to have no hope of mirroring causality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
