Description

This book is about "delta", a paradox logic. In delta, a statement can be true yet false; it is an "imaginary" state, midway between being and non-being. Delta's imaginary value solves many logical dilemmas unsolvable in two-valued Boolean logic. Delta resolves these paradoxes -- Russell's, Cantor's, Betty's and Zeno's. Delta has two parts: inner delta logic, or "Kleenean logic", which resolves the classic paradoxes of mathematical logic; and outer delta logic, which relates delta to Z mod 3, conjugate logics, cyclic distribution, and the voter' paradox.
