Coherent Systems Theory

by Nathan Coppedge

96 Results of a Logical Permutation, elaborated to explain the logic of all known philosophical and mathematical systems. The product has been to find a context for other systems of equal importance to the categorical deduction, which is the only previously known method for formulating objective knowledge statements. The goal is to give each type of system equal treatment. Although typology is a major consideration in these systems, most typologies native to science are discarded as mere lists, or as lacking logical content. Such lists are encompassed in the term ‘organization’ rather than ‘system’ --- and thus do not meet the criteria. One of the goals of this text is to put certain strong logical theories on equal-footing with the mathematical tradition. Included are theories of coherence and correspondence, relativity and absoluteness, recursions, equations and conjunctions, and paradoxical, exceptional, demonstrative, and positivistic reasoning. Also included is a section on pure theory, including meaningful, ethical, methodological, and logical systems.

[Nathan Coppedge · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little disorganized and incomplete, this is nonetheless one of the more concise and well-grounded manuals on coherence theory.

Previous authors such as Karl Popper took the pessimistic route, but this text is leagues beyond them by having a real theory of knowledge.

The text is a sort of overview of a variety of 'advanced introductory' ideas on the subject of objective knowledge, but the main section which is over half the book, is an effort to show the connection to mathematics in terms of coherence exclusively.

Being the author, I can say I wrote it in a very short time. The flow is nice, but some might find the factual content wanting.

However, it IS one of the only guides that has knowledge of real coherent knowledge, plus insight into the connection with categories of mathematics.

"None of them concern exclusively previously known ideas."

This book is designed as a meaningful bridge between mathematics and philosophy.

Those interested in the philosophy of mathematics or coherent logic might like this book a lot. It's really higher quality than the text called Coherent Logic.

As to whether you can use complex ideas from this text for a conventional purpose is another matter.

This was the first of a series of faster-written, better-written books by Nathan Coppedge following the publication of The Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit.

If it is understood as fast project available for cheap, the deal is not so bad.
