WHERE TO BEGIN?

—“Just show us how to begin, how we start removing error, bias, and deception and we will begin. Give us the nuts and bolts.”—

We begin with e-prime. I suppose I could teach that first. Although I don’t know how I have time to teach such a thing right now. It’s all available on the web anyway….

I don’t think categorical, logical, and empirical consistency are very difficult if we start with E-prime – they are all well understood and must only be stated in consistent language.

Propertarianism provides moral consistency and full accounting. I don’t think scope consistency (limits) is very hard either.

The hard part is provided by the problem of operational language exposes our ignorance.

It is very hard to learn to speak without the use of the verb to be. But this is the first step. After that, Propertarian ethics. And the rest is just practice.

Compared to mathematics?

Language ( logic ) requires we supply limits and consistency that is provided by the assumptions of consistency in mathematics.

In other words, logic of action is a shallower model, and mathematics a deeper model, but logic is more complicated than mathematics because of the inconstancy of external categories ( referents ) must be rendered commensurable by the grammar of human operations.

If we understand this we will see that we solved mathematics first because it is much more simple.

I should perhaps point out that this is the purpose of operationalism: the use of human action to produce consistent logical categories.

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to express this important insight.

( I hope I don’t forget about this comment because it is an important insight into the grammar of truth. )

So, let us take this as a sequence for informative purposes:

LOGICS:

1 – Mathematics : commensurability provided by operational, positional, names, and mathematical operations.

2 – Physical sciences and engineering : commensurability provided by physical determinism (laws of nature).

3 – Economics : commensurability provided by operationally produced prices

4 – Politics : commensurability provided by voluntary exchanges, articulated as fully accounted transactions.

3 – Testimony : commensurability provided by all possible human actions stated objectively as operations.
