Quotes by Leibniz, Boole and Shannon, then a comment on ethics...

It is true that as the empty voids and the dismal wilderness belong to zero, so the spirit of God and His light belong to the all-powerful One.

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716)

Whence it is that the ultimate laws of Logic are mathematical in their form... It is not because we choose to assign to it such a mode of manifestation, but because the ultimate laws of thought render that mode possible.

George Boole (1815-1864)

Information: the negative reciprocal value of probability... Information is the resolution of uncertainty.

Claude Elwood Shannon (1916-2001)


In preparation for my current book project, I have read and studied works on logic by these gentlemen among others. Regardless their unique dissertation and particular application, I have discovered the wonderfully deeper insight on the matter of ethics (or ethic singular) by determining, expressing the same logically, syllogistically, algebraically so to additionally determine, express then demonstrate CONSISTENCY in such ways.

For if ethic, morality are to be ethical, moral (to redundantly state), as much fact, science, truth are to be factual, scientific, truthful, then CONSISTENCY is the dynamic paramount to be discovered, understood, tested, demonstrated, determined then practiced while conducting further discovering, understanding, testing, demonstrating, determining, practicing and so on. Else, the proposition shown as inconsistent, arbitrary is NOT ethical, moral rather preferential, presumptuous, arrogant and if forced upon others then certainly unethical, immoral even violent, inhumane.
