Posology ult
II Morphoscopes
S Media of demonstration
1. Interaction of Inconsistency
Of the media or say instruments or say media of invention, demonstration
including demonstration and effectuation employable and employed in Form-regarding Mathematics
or say Morphoscopic Posology.
Ablity is not the proper word: 'impossibility is ' S. Means of demonstration
ication of inconsistency
In apt morphoscopic
all is supposition
— or say hypothetical:
who of
way his suppositions that
are inconsistent with
our matter, the one or
the other is not must be
false.
not the proper word 'inconsistency' is the proper word
All that is said in the field of morphoscopes all
that is said is said in the way of supposition: Thus of Suppositions
there are some which are consistent with one
another; others that are not: a sentence a proposition
tha by which expression is given to two mutually inconsistent
suppositions is a self-contradictory sentence or say proposition.
By the account thus given of it, who is there who, reading this
does not see that the true state of the case is expressed: How
comes it then that this is not the account given of it, by
Euclid, or any of the Geometricians, his followers? It can he had found the supposition
of a thing so
minute as not to have
any part: what does
he thereupon? what does
he thereupon but a in
the existence of a thing
which has not any parts?
in this way: namely that they took their own more suppositions
even taken by them for realities in their minds the idea of
non-existence and existence been confounded and rendered
indistinguishable. In Euclid's Elements this confusion
exemplified itself in the very first sentence. In his own mind
