A while ago, a thread was made to check the various forms of Paraconsistent Physiology left over from when it was treated as Transduality/Nonduality. From that, a few users and I realized that several verses may or may not qualify under its current requirements. The purpose of this CRT is to give users a clearer standard for checking whether their verse, or specific characters within it, still qualify for Paraconsistent Physiology under the current requirements.
To simplify, Paraconsistent Physiology is a state that defies Classical Logic.
To simplify, Paraconsistent Physiology is a state that defies Classical Logic.
- For example, if Character A is not Character A, that violates the Law of Identity, since classical logic holds that A is A.
- Likewise, if Character A is alive and not alive at the same time and in the same sense, that violates the Law of Non-Contradiction.
- If Character A is neither alive nor not alive, that violates the Law of Excluded Middle, since classical logic does not allow a third option such as “both,” “neither,” or another truth value.
Notes
- While dualities can qualify, they must follow a form of yes/no, true/false, or A/not-A. Fire and water may be treated as dualities in fiction, but logically, something is either water or not water, not “water or fire.”
- The same applies to Yin and Yang. Even if Yin is female and Yang is male, the negation of male is not male, not female. So Yin/Yang only qualifies if the verse treats them as actual logical negations.
- Lastly, it should be noted that Paraconsistent Physiology does not automatically grant broad interaction immunity. Any resistance, immunity, or special interaction should depend on what the verse actually shows. In other words, even if a character exists outside or beyond a system of classical logic, that does not automatically mean they are immune to everything that operates within that system. The verse must specifically show that their paraconsistent nature prevents certain effects from working on them.
