The Method
What Problem Are We Trying To Solve?
- We’re trying to create unambiguous systems of measurements, eliminating ambiguity, so that we reduce or eliminate the possibility of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit, by use of non-correspondence, conflation, inflation, for abuse of suggestion, deduction, induction, or abduction or guessing.
- Examples: disputes over meaning that expand, narrow, or confuse references(properties) so that suggestion, inference, argument can be based on a false premise.
- As in “not stating the rules of the game”, “changing the rules”,” moving the goalpost”, or other tactics of deception common in discourse, debate, and argument.
- When we say ‘first we must define our terms’ we are establishing the accounting rules for the production of transactions of meaning, that are free of bias, deceit, and fraud.
- The optimum definition of a term is stated as “when you (do) ….” which is an operational description.
The P-Method: Adversarialism
1. By Continuous Recursive Disambiguation, Enumeration, Serialization, and Operationalization, into first causes by Adversarial Competition. (Terms, Statements, Sentences, Stories)
2. At every scale of Stable Relations (symmetries) (First Causes);
3. Producing Exhaustive Reduction to First Causes(first principles).
4. Then Reconstructing all domains from first causes in consistent, coherent, correspondent, and operational terms.
5. Disambiguated by the Paradigm of permissible dimensions, possible operations, logic, and vocabulary, at each scale of stable relations.
6. Producing a single consistent, coherent, correspondent, the hierarchy of Grammars (logics);
7. Creating a universally commensurable value-neutral language of testimony across domains.
8. Creating universal decidability across human domains
9. Yielding a constructive logic of testing for the testifiability of identity, consistency, operational possibility, correspondence, coherence, rational choice, reciprocity, limits, completeness, and parsimony, of those relations across all scales of stable relations.
10. Permitting the falsification of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, loading, framing, suggestion, obscurantism, and the fictionalisms of sophistry, pseudoscience, and supernaturalism.
11. Resulting in Speech, Story, Argument by Strict Construction of Transactions, in a Contract for Meaning (Statements) and;
12. Due Diligence Against Ignorance, Error, Bias, Deceit, Fraud, Theft, Violence, War, and Conquest
13. Where due diligence requires tests of existence, identity, consistency, possibility, correspondence, rationality, reciprocity, completeness, and coherence).
And As A Consequence …
Thereby eradicating Irreciprocity and falsehood from the informational commons, and as a consequence from institution, knowledge, norm, and tradition
Restoring continuous adaptability by continuous innovation, adaptation, and application of the laws of the universe, allowing greater organization (anti-entropy) producing greater conditions, opportunity, choice, species survival – and peace.
