Trivalent? No.
From previous: Binary logic forces us to play team games, in sports and in politics. Teaming makes it EASY for Deepstate to keep us in an artificial stageplay, where we believe we're "discussing" or "voting" or "deciding" between two views that are both written by the same author to serve the evil purposes of the same author.
First thought: Would a three-value logic system help to deal with the teamplay situation?
= = = = = START REPRINT:
When dealing with media figures, the only constant fact is that everything you hear is intended to make one side or the other look bad. Some of one side may be true or not. There's no point in evaluating the truth.
Deepstate is jumbling up everything. Time, space, logic, memory.
We're supposed to ignore experience and accumulated knowledge.
We're supposed to pay sole attention to the displays presented by Deepstate.
And we're supposed to "vote" and "decide" according to these displays. The "control" is in our hands! Better make the right "decision" or the "Constitution" and the "Republic" will be trashed!!!!!!!
Polistra and Happystar have a better display.
= = = = = END REPRINT.
Second thought: Three-value logic doesn't really describe the solution. Trivalent systems start with the assumpion that T and F are the desired goals. The in-between range is considered as undefined. Not enough info available to pick T or F. The third value is still outside of teamplay, off the field. You're supposed to resolve the lack of info and join one of the teams.
Life doesn't have teams. Life has tanh. Analog systems and our sensory systems are based on tanh. Every smoothly variable control has endpoints. A volume control or a tuner has endpoints. The stereo balance control has endpoints.
In an analog system the area between the teams is the ONLY area. The two endpoints are available, but you rarely need to use them. If you have to turn the volume to max all the time, you need a more powerful amplifier. If you turn the volume to zero all the time, you don't need the radio at all. You can throw it away.
This is a sloppy metaphor because it still implies that the endpoints are part of the "usable" spectrum. They aren't. The picture above is a better metaphor. Endpoints are fake scenes generated by Deepstate to prevent us from opening the window and looking at plain old reality.
Nevertheless, pure binary thinking was much less prevalent when we were more accustomed to analog systems like slide rules and mercury thermometers and radio tuning dials. Our math is now digital, with every number appearing as a falsely precise set of digits. Our tuning is channeled, with each channel coming from a specific company. Watch this on Youtube or Hulu or Disney. Get your "news" from CNN or FOX. There's no uncharted space on the dial. These choices aren't necessarily binary, but they are digital. You have to click the rotary switch to one of the approved teams.
Polistra's 1938 Philco was all analog.
Here's the dial:
The top line suggested bands typically used by various parts of the world, but most of the dial was 'uncharted', with unexpected goodies available to the patient listener. The physical characteristics of shortwave reception also contributed to the unexpected SPORT of listening. Sometimes the ionosphere would bring in Norway or Burma with local volume while blocking nearby stations. It was a game of skill AND chance.
1938 was the peak of analog news and entertainment. Government and corporations INVITED us to listen outside the team boundaries. Most radios had shortwave bands. Newscasters in WW2 explicitly stated that BOTH of the endpoints were censored propaganda. We were expected to favor our censored propaganda because we were fighting a real and JUSTIFIABLE war, but we needed to know WHY our side was better.
After FDR died, Deepstate rose from its grave. Lady Edgar resumed playing her old "two" "sides" fake-terrorist games, and we immediately returned Russia to its old familiar role as boogeyman. We stopped making SW radios for consumer use. TV was divided into 12 channels with no uncharted tuning allowed. We started down the ever-narrowing canyon toward today's rigid channelization.
