Abstract Kant’s Formula of Universal Law (FUL) is generally believed to require you act only on the basis maxims that can will without contradiction become universal laws. In “Contradiction and Law” (2017), I have proposed read FUL instead as requiring that, for any maxim which act, two things simultaneously, volitional self-contradiction: (1) willing your own action principle (2) it a law. pre...

The purpose of this paper is to apply TRIZ for solving the GSC problems in Sobhanoncology pharmaceutical firm. A review of the past papers of TRIZ based methods to GSC problem resolution is presented. The TRIZ contradiction matrix tool which was applied to the specific problem brings many benefits e.g.: being rapid acceleration in solving the problem. Moreover provides repeatability, reliabilit...

I argue that there are non-trivial objective chances (that is, objective chances other than 0 and 1) even in deterministic worlds. The argument is straightforward. I observe that there are probabilistic special scientific laws even in deterministic worlds. These laws project nontrivial probabilities for the events that they concern. And these probabilities play the chance role and so should be ...

Any theory that states that the basic laws of physics are time-symmetric must be strictly deterministic. Only determinism enables time reversal of entropy increase. A contradiction therefore arises between two statements of Hawking. A simulation of a system under time reversal shows how an intrinsic time arrow re-emerges, destroying the time reversal, when even slight failure of determinism occ...

Abstract. We prove a BV estimate for scalar conservation laws that generalizes the classical Total Variation Diminishing property. In fact, for any smooth function Φ, we have that Φ(u) is TVD with the correct definition of the initial seminorm. We call this property Total Oscillation Diminishing. The reason being that it is in contradiction with the oscillations observed recently on some numeri...

To propose that black holes do not exist would be the fundamental way to resolve the contradiction between event horizons and quantum mechanics. In this paper we shall use the Lorentz and Levi-Civita conservation laws to explain how an event horizon might not exist, and the reasons for its nonexistence are presented by using the theory of classical gravity.

Contradiction detection is a task to recognize contradiction relations between a pair of sentences. Despite the effectiveness of traditional context-based word embedding learning algorithms in many natural language processing tasks, such algorithms are not powerful enough for contradiction detection. Contrasting words such as “overfull” and “empty” are mostly mapped into close vectors in such e...

This paper investigates the satisfaction of the Non-Contradiction (NC) and Excluded-Middle (EM) laws within the domain of aggregation operators. It provides characterizations both for those aggregation operators that satisfy NC/EM with respect to (w.r.t.) some given strong negation, as well as for those satisfying them w.r.t. any strong negation. The results obtained are applied to some of the ...
