Abstract: In the study of the general methodology of science and philosophy, we have discovered a common fundamental problem of the “paradox of the basic element” that creates inconsistencies in social and natural theory and general ontology and epistemology. Our study of the state interactions as a major international actor leads us

Abstract: This paper first formalizes categorical propositions in syllogisms, then proves the validity of the generalized syllogism MAI-4, and then deduces other 15 valid generalized syllogisms from the syllogism MAI-4. In other words, there are reducible relationships between/among the 16 syllogisms. This study highlights the dialec

Abstract: This paper firstly proves that the syllogism EMO-4 is valid, and secondly indicates the validity of the other 14 syllogisms can be deduced from that of EMO-4 with the help of generalized quantifier theory, set theory, and first-order logic. And more valid generalized syllogisms can be deduced when one continues to infer. It

Abstract: This paper formalizes Aristotelian modal syllogism within the framework of knowledge mining and subsequently proves the validity of the Aristotelian modal syllogism ▢EAO-3 through the application of modal logic and generalized quantifier theory. Moreover, by means of the integration of specific rules and facts derived from

Abstract: This paper firstly presents knowledge representations of Aristotelian modal syllogisms based on the structure of modal categorical propositions; Then, the validity of syllogism ⼞AA◇A-1 was proved by using the truth value definitions of these propositions. And then this syllogism was used for knowledge reasoning with the hel

Abstract: Due to the large number of generalized quantifiers in the English language, this paper only studies the fragment of generalized modal syllogistic that contains the quantifiers in Square{all} and Square{most}. On the basis of generalized quantifier theory, possible-world semantics, and set theory, this paper shows that there

Abstract: This paper firstly provides knowledge representations of Aristotelian modal syllogisms from the perspective of mathematical structuralism, and proves the validity of Aristotelian modal syllogism E⼞I◇O-4, and then by making full use of relevant definitions, facts, and some inference rules, formally derive other 30 valid moda

Abstract: Three space experiments carried out in 2004-2018 placed all points on "i" in the discussion about the nature of space-time, which began with the apories of Zeno of Eleia. Experiments have proved that space-time does not exist physically. They are what Democritus called "nothing," unlike "what," which is associated with ever

Abstract: Empirical data in situ of recent years indicate that spacetime does not exist physically: they are not material - they do not have any of the characteristics inherent in material objects. At the same time, space-time is the most fundamental and universal mediator between all, without exception, material objects of Nature. I

Abstract: Though grief and loss have been normalized in mental health discourse, a particular class ofbereavement remains as diagnosis- Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder. Discussion of thismore complex and enduring condition is undertaken in what follows. The dynamics of grief andloss are discussed through this diagnostic categ
