(Draft, in progress, saving for tomorrow) (script)

“Q: Curt: What do you mean by a formal operational logic?”

I’m fundamentally an epistemologist and logician of decidability, and I apply my work to behavioral sciences. In particular, I focus on applying my work to historical explanations of our ‘errors’ (deceits) and then legal and economic reforms to repair them. And I do this to end the conflict of our age, and bring about a possible settlement before the deterministic war that will absolutely hurt us all comes to pass.

What’s not obvious to you or anyone else, is that this solution to the formal sciences, unifies the sciences, meaning my work explains all the sciences in one simple model. So that means I’ve had to work across all the sciences and disciplines, which is why this effort was so challenging that no university would tolerate the scope of work necessary to produce it without publishing.

One of the perils of my work, is that it’s extremely technical, yet because it’s of universally popular interest, everyone has an opinion – and speaks (like bots) out of pervasive ignorance, justifying their priors, but lacking any means of comprehending the subject other than their feelings of it. Conversely, you don’t find ordinary people criticizing mathematicians and logicians because the work is not only incomprehensible but unimportant to them. But I touch on ‘the frauds, lies, and falsehoods’ that all of us our invested in, and of course, people who agree need to spend a year learning enough to understand I’m correct, and people who disagree rapidly run from the first substantive argument demonstrating they don’t know what they’re talking about – of if (as we see is common on the left) the double down on ad homs, poisoning the well, and canceling by ridicule, outraging, shrilling, and shaming.

So now that the research and development is done, and we’re working on the draft for publication, I find I can return to basic explanations. Partly to educate the willing, and partly in defense of the unwilling and ignorant, and partly to silence the abusive.

The Four Sciences:
1. Formal: Systems (Grammars, or abstract: ‘language’)
That we use to describe the three other sciences:
2. Physical (Natural): Continuous Mathematics (Before)
3. Behavioral (Social) Discrete Computations (During)
4. Evolutionary: Adversarial Simulations (After)

Formal Science
Formal science is a branch of science studying disciplines concerned with abstract structures described by formal systems, such as logic, mathematics, statistics, theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, information theory, game theory, systems theory, decision theory, and theoretical linguistics.

Whereas the natural sciences and social sciences seek to characterize physical systems and social systems, respectively, using empirical methods, the formal sciences use language tools concerned with characterizing abstract structures described by formal systems.

The formal sciences aid the natural and social sciences by providing information about the structures used to describe the physical world, and what inferences may be made about them.

In other words, universal grammar is trivial, consisting of rules of continuos recursive disabmiguation by a combination of names that refer to states (nouns, adjectives) or transformations (verbs, adverbs), and agreements (agree/disagree yes/no, true/false).

As such all systems (grammars of paradigms vocabulary and syntax) from mathematics to procedures, to testimony to ordinary language, fiction to fictionalisms, to lying, to sedition are variations in permissible references that are consistent and correspondent … or not.

I understand this can be difficult to understand. But what it means is langauge consists of a stream of measurements using the human body, senses, perceptions, and intuitions, and instruments(tools) as ‘natural measurements’. And that we can speak in very precise, practical, or deceptive measurements. And that all human disciplines are constructed of the universal grammar of continuous recursive disambiguation, with nothing other than names of states, changes in state, and tests of equality (agreement). In other words everything we say and do can be imagined as increasingly non-cardinal mathematics.

Operational (Actions)
An Operational Logic is a system of logic requiring that all statements must consist of a sequence of objectively (physical) and subjectively(logical) operations that are testable by possibility and repeatability by man.

Constructive
A constructive logic is a system of logic stating that mathematical or logical statements are true only when they can be constructed, and as such, proved.
