You keep failing to pay close enough attention.
I only get rid of the POE by getting rid of Disjunction introduction.

It *is* and actual psychotic break from reality
to prove any damned thing from a contradiction
besides ⊥ falsum.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by

Which you can't do because it's a truth-preserving operation.

That would also means getting rid of any proof that uses it, which is 
probably most, so most mathematical systems would collapse.

In other words, you want to be able to use a system that can prove a 
contradiction.

So you're saying that in the following natural language statement:

--------------------------------------
At least one of the following statements is true:
- Earth is the third planet from the sun.
- <X>
--------------------------------------

Where <X> is any natural language statement, there exists a statement X 
such that the condition "At least one of the following statements is 
true" is false.

Name it.

That is not Disjunction introduction combined with
Disjunctive syllogism, it is bare Disjunction.

Let me spell it out more explicitly then.

Given that the following natural language statement is true:

--------------------------------------
Earth is the third planet from the sun.
--------------------------------------

In the following natural language statement:

--------------------------------------
At least one of the following statements is true:
- Earth is the third planet from the sun.
- <X>
--------------------------------------

Where <X> is any natural language statement, does there exist a 
statement X such that the condition "At least one of the following 
statements is true" is false?

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

The statement you gave isn't a truth-bearing statement, so it can't be 
used in logic.  I didn't think I had to make that explicit.

However, let's go with it anyway because it still illustrates the point.

So I'll ask again:

Is the statement "Earth is the third planet from the sun" true?

On second though, let's back up as that might confuse you.

Given that <X> is any *truth bearing* natural language statement, does 
there exist a statement X such that the condition "At least one of the 
following statements is true" is false?

Head games will be ignored.
That you did so well on the other things
so I will not block you.

Copyright 2026 Olcott

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

Explain in detail how this is a head game.

Failure to either answer the above question or explain how it is a head 
game in your next reply or within one hour of you next post in this 
newsgroup will be taken as your official, on-the-record admission that 
Disjunction introduction is in fact truth preserving and valid, and 
therefore so is the Principle of Explosion.

And more that one hour has passed with no attempt to answer the above 
question or explain why it is a head game.  Therefore, as per the above 
criteria:

Let The Record Show

That Peter Olcott

Has *Officially* Admitted:

That Disjunction introduction is in fact truth preserving and valid, and 
therefore so is the Principle of Explosion.

William T. Parry, Entailment Logics
gets rid of Disjunction introduction
to prevent the principle of explosion

A simple logical matrix and sequent calculus for
Parry’s logic of Analytic Implication

The main and distinctive feature of PAI (and of the many
systems of analytic implication belonging to its ilk) is

the rejection of the classically valid principle of Addition,
sometimes also referred to as Disjunction Introduction. In

other words, the principle leading from a formula ϕ to a
disjunction of the form ϕ ∨ ψ, where ψ is an arbitrary
formula. Parry blamed on this principle the derivability
of the paradoxes of strict implication—given that it is
famously featured in Lewis’ derivation of an arbitrary
formula ψ from a contradiction of the form ϕ ∧ ¬ϕ.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

So someone came up with a different system that has different rules. 
That has no bearing on existing systems.

If you want to make up your own system, you need to throw out every that 
depends on any definition or rule that you changed and prove everything 
*from scratch*.

As you've demonstrated on countless occasions, you don't even have a 
high school understanding of logic, so this is far beyond your abilities.

In the system everyone works in, Disjunction introduction is truth 
preserving and valid, and therefore so is the Principle of Explosion, as 
you have just admitted on the record above.

The bearing that it has on existing systems is that
it corrects their psychotic break from reality that
allows one to prove that Donald Trump is the one and
only Lord and Savior on the basis of a totally irrelevant
contradiction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevance_logic
Does this same sort of thing in that they limit logic
in a different way. If the conclusion is semantically
irrelevant to its premises then the conclusion is not
derived.

In my system we toss out and reject any and all
logical inference that is not semantic entailment.

Good: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby has less hair.
Bad: Bobby cut his hair therefore Bobby filled his gas tank.

The Prolog way to look at this is that in any system
when the expression x cannot reach Facts though its
Rules counts as untrue.

Prolog goes a step further with its "closed world"
"negation as failure" assumption that unprovable means false.
I only say that unprovable means untrue it does not
mean false.

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).

None, as you can't remove a truth-preserving operation.

It follows from a series of truth-preserving operations starting with 
the precondition that a contradiction has been proven, as you have 
admitted above on the record.

Only people having actual psychosis would conclude
that "The Moon is made from green cheese" AND
"The Moon is NOT made from green cheese" SEMANTICALLY
PROVES that Donald Trump is the one and only Lord

My 28 year goal has been to make
"true on the basis of meaning expressed in language"
reliably computable for the entire body of knowledge.
The complete structure of this system is now defined.

The entire body of knowledge expressed in language is
comprised of two types of relations between finite strings:
(a) *Axioms* Expressions of language that are stipulated to be true.

My system bridges the analytic/synthetic distinction by
expressly encoding all empirical "atomic facts" in a formal
language such as CycL of the Cyc project.

(b) *Inference Rules* Expressions of language that are semantically
entailed syntactically from (a) and/or (b).
