Logical tetrahedron

  • Logic reasoning was performed by means of a so-called inductive logical tetrahedron, i.e. a dynamic (3d), static or geometric (3D) representation of mathematical equations with two (line), three (tri-angle), four (tetrahedron) or more (pentahedron, etc.) different, but mutually dependent variable unknowns (see figure above).*
  • Properties, i.e. features, characteristics or attributes, are assumed to denote mentalolinguistic representations of neuromental concepts of either directly or indirectly sense-perceived (sets of) distinct aspects of (sets of) natural phenomena (see: complex phenomena).
  • Relations between properties are considered to denote meaningful connections of whatever kind between two (sets of) entities or variables of whatever kind, and, due to that, the building stones of any kind of order (see figure above: AB, AC, AD, BC, BD & CD, and relations).
  • Order, i.e. ordering or arrangement, is supposed to denote some set of meaningful relations of whatever kind between three or more (sets of) entities of whatever kind (see figure above: ABC, ABD, ACD, BAC, BAD, BCD & ABCD, and order).
  • Analytical or reductionistic knowledge may be acquired by eliminating relations between inter-dependent entities, i.e. variable properties or phenomena, and is thought to yield increasingly less complex, simple, basic, and, ultimately, axiomatic knowledge (see: reductionistic first principle).
  • Synthetic, holistic, synergetic, emergent or inductionistic knowledge may be acquired by inducing or 'creating' relations between two or more different (sets of) entities, and may yield simple, as well as increasingly complex knowledge (see: inductionistic first principle).
