    Default Logical Absolutes

    #1 nothing can bring itself into existence
    without existence, it lacks attributes and therefor has not way to create itself. no tool to use to call itself into existence.

    #2 something can not be itself, and not itself, at the same time.



    A tree is a tree
    a rock is a rock
    a fish is a fish
    a rock is not a fish
    if a fish becomes a tree, it is no longer a fish

    a treefish is neither a tree by definition or a fish by definition. it is a treefish.

    #3 Law of Excluded Middle.. a statement is either true or false. if it is not entirely true, then it is false.

    a treefish is a fish - false
    a trefish is a tree - false
    a trefish is a treefish - true

    a trefish has atributes of both a tree and a fish - true

    When the teacher is ready the student will appear and when the student is ready the teacher will appear.

    Here are some Logical absolute statements.

    A. That which exists has attributes and a nature
    B. Something cannot be itself and not itself at the same time
    C. Something cannot bring itself into existence
    D. Truth is not self-contradictory
    E. Therefore, Logical Absolutes are absolutely true. They are not subjectively true; that is, they are not sometimes true and sometimes false depending on preference, or situation. Otherwise, they would not be absolute.

    im not sure if your implying the idea of one of use being either student or teacher, or just imposing a statement that otherwise has no logical bearing on this conversation.

    What i do know is that logical absolutes are both logical and absolute, therefore they are the teacher.

    The student and the teacher are one in the same.

    You should study C++!

    It's all about creating and destroying reality.

    Once you get past the mechanics of C, C++ is deeply philosophical.

    no, a student is a student and a teacher is a teacher.. they can not be one in the same at the same time...
    #2 something can not be itself, and not itself, at the same time.

    The point here is that with the 3 logical absolute statements above, you can build all logical thinking.
