Ron:
Which is it as it applies to being-aware?
you just stated that A is both dependant and exclusive.
Analytics demands you make a choice, if you do not,
the statement is false by that standard, if you say they
are exclusive and they do not occur at the same time
and they have no outcomes in common then it is a true
dichotomy.
if you say they are dependant and not mutually exclusive
then that is a false dichotomy. But you do say that
being-aware is dependant, therefore it is a false dichotomy.
I found this Internet definition of Dichotomy which may help resolve our
logical problem:
"Dichotomies of opposition are used more in analysis, and where the two
elements are often destructive when combined. (Exclusive OR). Dichotomies of
complementarity are used more in synthesis, where the two elements are seen
as parts of a whole with the whole emerging when the parts join - (Inclusive
OR) - with the final whole being the universe of discourse."
I think you will agree that my AB proposition is a "synthesis" rather than
an "analysis", which allows for "the whole emerging when the parts join.".
Therefore, if I withdraw the "exclusivity" condition, it would appear that
my dualism is a "dichotomy of complementarity." -- an "inclusive OR" as
opposed to an "exclusive OR".
Since nothing was stated about "true" or "false" in this description, I
assume that a dichotomy of complementarity is valid by the standards of
logic. Which means that I can still refer to the relation of Awareness to
Beingness as a dichotomy.
Are we back on track?
