Are Aristotelian Identity Laws the Premise for Equivocation?

Post by Eodnhoj7 »

"Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.[1] It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a hypothetical cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur."(a)

This causes a problem relative to the Identity Laws of:

P=P

P≠-P

Pv-P


Schrödinger's Cat uses the "box" as a context that can be view as synonymous to a time zone. If box is replaced with Memory of January:

The Cat is both alive and dead in my memory of January.

C= Cat Alive (existing)

-C= Cat Dead (not-existing)

M= Memory

J= January

((C=C)=(-C=-C))=(M(J))

Can be simplified as:

((C)=(-C))=(M(J))

Where the Memory(January) is a context of Time/Space and Cat Alive (C) and Cat Dead (-C) are contexts as well of Time/Space.


.____________._____________. M(J)

...... (C)V(-C) ......... (-C)V(C)


Each identity thus represents a context within a context where a recursion of context occurs as inherent within the identity.

"Recursion (adjective: recursive) occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. Recursion is used in a variety of disciplines ranging from linguistics to logic."(b)

This constant of "type" (a category of people or things having common characteristics(c)) is the Law of Identity itself (identity: a close similarity or affinity(c))

In these respects each law exists as a recursion of the prior law if the law is to maintain an identity:

((P=P)=(P=P))

((P≠-P)=(P≠-P)) and ((-P=-P)=(-P=-P))

((Pv-P)=(Pv-P))

Where the identity laws can be summated as (P(P)P) or (P) in which case identity is strictly a process of context in itself which is assumed and void of meaning in itself.

Identity is grounded in the assumption of context that is inherently void. Thus equivocation can be observed not as a fallacy but a law of recursion.

Are all modalities fundamentally identities within identies where identity is grounded in fractals as mathematical fractions or geometric fractals?

Thus, including the op question provided, can identity be observed as Recursive Context?
