On Truth and Falsity

             The Reality of All False Formulations

Every system that humans can create are either inductive systems, which may be true or false, syllogistic systems, which may be true or false, or speculative systems which need to be investigated to determine if they are true or false. But the basic elements that form any system that humans can create are always true and real. These basic elements have to be true and real because if there were any possibility that they could be unreal, then all useful systems would be impossible to create. Unreality can only be useless, and has proven to be so in human experience.

Reality actually consists of a vast spectrum of interconnected experiences of real sense objects and thought objects produced by that basic element of reality that is human consciousness. Humans always select from that vast spectrum whatever elements they need to create any system whether true, false, or speculative. In fact, humans happen to be incapable of experiencing anything that is not true and real. Falsity itself is a true and real idea because it is useful.

Humans can form false systems, but every false system always comprises true and real elements. A person can correctly declare that a particular false system does not exist. But that person can never declare that the elements of any false system must be unreal because he has already experienced those elements. The falsity of a false system always adheres to the useless combination of true and real elements, never to the true and real elements themselves. Humans possess the ability to recognize false combinations by their use of the real and useful idea of nothing. False formulations always mean nothing because they are always useless. But the recognition of their falsity is useful. False formulations prove to be useful to humans because they can use the idea of nothing to usefully discard them from reality.

For example, a person can rightly state that a unicorn does not exist. But he cannot state that "horns" and "horses" do not exist because he has experienced them. He can use his real idea of nothing to recognize that this false combination does not exist. Yet, he never experiences the non-existence of the unicorn. In fact, humans never experience non-existence at all. Humans can only experience that which is true and real, even within all false formulations. This fact happens to be true of all false combinations
