You cannot seperate time from a duration considering even an "instant", such as a clock hand moving a second, is a duration. Even the instant of swallowing food is a duration of time. There is no action which does not occur over a duration of time thus something may both be itself and not be itself at the same time considering time is a length.

You don't have a coherent definition of "sameness".

Yeah, sure. Why have you chosen that particular logic?

There are powerful systems of logic that are known to be inconsistent. They are useful despite inconsistency.

According to the defined Framework of Formal logic, why not.

The limitation of formal logic according to Kant is due to its features of abstraction.
As such formal logic deal with universals and not particulars.
In this case objects & things are stripped off their particular details and merely considered as object-in-general.
For example, apple refer to refer to an apple-in-general where all apples referred as having the same qualities and not a a particular apple which is still growing or rotting.

The moment you call two different things by the same name you are DOING abstraction.

This apple and that apple are both apples. You are asserting that they are "the same". Even though they are TWO different objects with TWO distinct identities. "Sameness" is a context-based judgment.

Two apples may be the same, or they may be different.

So if you can't even define "sameness" how can you then go onto define "non-contradiction" using a the notion of "sameness" (which you haven't defined)?!?

I stated formal logic is confined to abstractions.
So there is no question of the fact that "Two apples may be the same, or they may be different."

When we qualify we are doing formal logic, [Aristotle] then it is assumed two apples are always the same, unless qualified for relevant reason.
Thus one apple + one apple in this case is two apples without regard that one is fresh, the other is rotten.

In the case of 'sameness' it is about the same sense.
One can say a diamond gem is both soft and hard at the same time.
But that does not contradict the LNC because
that is meant to be in different sense, i.e.
1. diamond as solid rock.
2. diamond from the electron perspective facing an electron piercer.

It is the same with 'water is both at the same time physically soft and hard' depending on the different sense [context].
So water cannot be both hard and soft in the same context a ordinary drinkable water, that would be a contradiction.

You missed the critical point again.

It is an imperative feature of formal, traditional/classical logic that all its object be abstractions without the particular details.

If you do not rely on abstractions, formal logic will not work.

When you take one rotten apple and one good apple, the finer reality is that there are no two apples in hand.
The reality is there is one rotten apple and another good apple.
To insist there are merely two apples without the details is in a way a degree of falsehood.
If there are >100 apples to be realistic one will have to account for each apples and its details in terms of color, shape, rottenness, good, ripe, unripe, etc. This will be too cumbersome for the sake of being more realistic.

One can only conclude there are two apples [compromised reality] when one rely on formal logic i.e. deal only with abstractions without the detailed contents.
In a way, in formal logic we are dealing with lesser truths and reality but while we forsake the degree of reality we gain effectiveness.

This is why the framework relied up upon must be clearly defined as to contexts, sameness, differences, abstractions, etc.
You on the other hand are messing the whole thing up with all sorts of conflations.

To state specifically there are 1 rotten apple and 1 good apple is more realistic than merely saying there are two universal apples.

Can't you see the difference between trying to be realistic with 100 apples by describing the specific details of each apple of the 100 apples than merely stating there are 100 universal apples.
In this case to be more realistic is cumbersome, but if we have to do it, then we have to do it but there is a limit to the degree of being realistic weighed against its cost vs benefits.

As I had stated, effective [optimality] is relative to the cost versus benefits factor.

I can see that both possibilities exist. And I can see that you can make either choice. Depending on your pragmatic utility and your needs. And some times the benefits justify the cost.

Cost/benefit analysis produces different results for different goals.

All you have done is instead of abstractly talking about "particular" apples; you are not abstractly talking about "partcular" cost-benefit analysis.

There are scenarios in which cost-benefit analysis fails. Such as scenarios in which one of the possible costs is irreversible damage to something of infinite value.

You stated, "If you don't rely on abstraction thinking doesn't work."
I am saying, thinking do not in all cases rely on abstraction. I gave example.

It is critical we must differentiate logic from thinking in general, plus differentiate the different types of logic with their respective rules.
Logic is like any games, e.g. chess, tennis, where without rule it will not work as what it should be.

In theory there is a difference between what is abstracted and what is particular in reality.
Nope I am not conflating particular apples with abstract apples, that would be a contradiction.
We can talk about a particular apple in a certain perspective but there is no ultimate particular apple-in-itself.

Take the drop-of-water in general that is in abstract.
But one drop of water with 100 molecules of H20 and another with 1000 molecules of H20 refer to the particular drop of water not its abstraction.

You are going off point again, my focus in not not cost-benefit analysis.

My original point is,
1. The advantage of logic [formal, traditional, etc.] is due to its limitations, i.e. that it has to rely on abstraction and not with details of particulars.
2. In order for such logic to be effective and make sense, it has to have rules, i.e. one of them is the LNC.
3. As such one cannot simply generalize to claim the LNC is false re OP, because it is a necessary rule established for logic [formal, traditional, etc.] to work.
4. As with abstraction, there are degrees and to what degree with depend on the cost-benefit factor when applied in practice.

As usual, in trying to be a smart-alec you are straying all over ending with being a smart-fool.

If you want to counter me, go through point 1 to 4 systematically & orderly and show me where I am wrong.

I agree, but Liebnitz wouldnt. Neither would most Mathematicians.

If you turn a blind eye to location within the coordinate system they share all other properties.

But then 1 = 1 is false. And Mathematics falters.

Equational reasoning is grounded upon the falsehood that A = A.
Identity is thus grounded in its "singularness" of expression. This "singularness" of phenomenon expands across all of phenomenon thus necessitating two distinct phenomenon as equivocating through this common nature. One exists across many as one self references through the many. Self referentiality is a singularity manifested through multiplicity....this is superpositioning where one thing exists in multiple states.

Two distinct locations equate through the common phenomenon which unite them much in the same manner 2+2 is different to 3+1 but both equate through the common median of 4.

What is it that you think the symbol 1 denotes; refers to; or represents?
Representation is equivocation thus two seemingly different phenomenon, ie the "abstract image" and "x phenomenon", are connected....this connection necessitates a degree of sameness. However sameness results in multiple positions as two or more phenomenon exist; ie the mental picture of x being an abstraction and the x phenomenon being empirical. So the phenomenon which equivocate in fact are different, but these differences in positioning connect therefore necessitating sameness. 1=1 necessitates two different positions connecting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_no ... Heraclitus

The LNC is ambiguous because it pre-supposes a well-defined notion of "sameness".

propositions cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time

Is A the same as A? It depends on who you ask.
You referenced but did not read fully, i.e.

"Unfortunately, so little remains of Heraclitus' aphorisms that not much about his philosophy can be said with certainty."

Due to the above limitations your reference cannot be credible.

What is most critical within the LNC is the criteria 'same sense'.
If one can counter the LNC within the same time [re formal logic], you are not likely to counter it within the same sense.

I believe what most people misunderstand is the LNC is one of the Three Laws of Logic which is confined to Traditional and Formal logic and not to other forms of logic, e.g. fuzzy, intuitional logic and others.

Therefore the LNC is not an absolute Law of all Logic.

As Kant stated, formal logic has its advantage merely based on its limitations.
Therefore the LNC is only valid within its defined framework.

Nevertheless the OP is countering the LNC within its framework but unsuccessfully due to his ignorance of the criteria of 'same sense', i.e. trying to be a smart-alec but exposed as a smart-fool.

So one should not fool around with the LNC within its stipulated framework, i.e. applicable to traditional and formal logic only, else it will make one a fool.
1. The LNC is absolute within its defined context of usage thus necessitating absolutes therefore not all is relative.

2. An instance is a duration of time in which one phenomenon changes into another. Given it is a duration of time both P and -P exist simultaneously within said length of time given the instant of change as a length is both phenomenon occurring within the same time period. X changing into Y within a second observes both X and Y occur within a second. This second can be replace with millisecond, etc. as the second is the instant of change. All instants are durations at the meta scale.

3. The potentiality of A to change to B or C necessitates both B and C existing simultaneously within the context of "potentiality" at the same time.

The LNC is ambiguous because it pre-supposes a well-defined notion of "sameness".

propositions cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time

Is A the same as A? It depends on who you ask.
You referenced but did not read fully, i.e.

"Unfortunately, so little remains of Heraclitus' aphorisms that not much about his philosophy can be said with certainty."

Due to the above limitations your reference cannot be credible.

What is most critical within the LNC is the criteria 'same sense'.
If one can counter the LNC within the same time [re formal logic], you are not likely to counter it within the same sense.

I believe what most people misunderstand is the LNC is one of the Three Laws of Logic which is confined to Traditional and Formal logic and not to other forms of logic, e.g. fuzzy, intuitional logic and others.

Therefore the LNC is not an absolute Law of all Logic.

As Kant stated, formal logic has its advantage merely based on its limitations.
Therefore the LNC is only valid within its defined framework.

Nevertheless the OP is countering the LNC within its framework but unsuccessfully due to his ignorance of the criteria of 'same sense', i.e. trying to be a smart-alec but exposed as a smart-fool.

So one should not fool around with the LNC within its stipulated framework, i.e. applicable to traditional and formal logic only, else it will make one a fool.
1. The LNC is absolute within its defined context of usage thus necessitating absolutes therefore not all is relative.

2. An instance is a duration of time in which one phenomenon changes into another.

All instants are durations at the meta scale.

3. The potentiality of A to change to B or C necessitates both B and C existing simultaneously within the context of "potentiality" at the same time.
I have responded to 1 & 3 in the other threads.

2. You are trying to rhetorical and deceptive.
In the case of "same time" re the LNC mean the same instance to the dot not within a duration of time or length of time, which can be nano-seconds, second, minutes or hours, etc.

In a duration or length of time, there is a continuous flow from t1 to t2, t3 and so on with each 't' in measured in the smallest nano-seconds or assumed to the in absolute same time.

When the potentiality of a croc egg at t1 is determined in terms of its specific sex at t2, then we are not taking about the 'same time' for the purpose of the LNC.
The practical use of the LNC in this case will enable eggs of the different sex to be separated from one another.

As I had stated, don't try to be a smart-alec with the application of the LNC within traditional, formal, conventional logic.
