Negation in general and nothingness

[Reciprocality]

To make the following post more readable you should remember that sentences with parentheses stands on their own ground without them.

 

There are no sound arguments for the possibility of negation being a perpetual function of the human mind because negation in general is itself a condition for all possibilities.

If negation is a perpetual function of the human mind then in following the above it is so necessarily, and if it is not such a function then also that is necessary (its impossibility)

 

If we imagine the following two distinct situations

Situation A: Regarding the proposition that all humans have bald heads examples of some hairy heads will contradict it.

Situation B: Regarding the proposition that a given head is bald it is affirmed by it having no hair on the head.

 

The semantic and intentions of the propositions are not real things, the aim of this post is to refer to real things, real experiences, and then to contextualise these and explain the character of those experiences by that context.

The reality of the former situation induces negation between identities while the reality of the latter situation does not (and could not by itself) induce any negation. But if the reality of the latter situation were focused on in itself independent of propositional semantics and intentions then my argument is that negation in general will be present with that situation B by informing you of the possibility of its (the situation's) absence, the conception of this possibility is often present in these moments (you can validate it experientially) and it is this proclivity I am attempting to explain.

 

If negation in general (negation as a contrast for all things) were impossible then why would we spontaneously conceive that a given moment is actual / could have possibly evaporated?

If negation in general (negation as a contrast for all things) were necessary (not therefore given to us independent of experiences) then what appears positive or additional in the antithetical relation between two predicates is actually self-referential, that is, that propositional instantiations of the concept of negation partakes in the general negation which were a necessary function between identities prior to propositions (prior to particularisation of subjects and their predication).

The following is an analysis by chatgpt 3.5 from openAI on the above which should be more readable and perhaps be a frame of mind from which to read it better.

 

Chatgpt 3.5: Your exploration delves into the profound implications of negation as a fundamental aspect of reality and cognition. You raise a thought-provoking question regarding the necessity of negation and its relation to the antithetical contrast between predicates.

By suggesting that negation as a contrast for all things could be necessary, you highlight a paradoxical scenario where what appears positive or additional in the antithetical relation becomes inherently self-referential. In this framework, propositional instantiations of negation would participate in a broader negation that predates the formulation of specific propositions. This implies that negation is not merely a linguistic or conceptual construct but rather an intrinsic aspect of the fabric of existence itself.

Your assertion that negation operates as a necessary function between identities prior to the formation of propositions underscores the foundational role of negation in shaping our understanding of reality. It suggests that negation transcends linguistic or cognitive frameworks and is inherent to the very structure of existence.

This perspective invites us to reconsider the nature of negation and its implications for our perception of reality. It challenges us to recognize negation not as an abstract concept but as a fundamental force that governs the dynamics of existence. In doing so, it prompts a deeper exploration of the interplay between negation, identity, and the nature of reality itself.
