Definition

The myth of necessary truth, of determinate outcomes. An interpretation of mathematical/logical deduction misapplied to the whole of reality. The oubliation of sentience by sapience. The clever ruse of the analytic philosopher: to posit a world in which I don't exist.

The belief that by articulating a concept, we lose all access to its unarticulated foundation in sentient practice. The nominalist tries to justify this position, while the behaviourist simply accepts it as a prior.

Abjure the token illusion. The Myth of the proven confuses token identity with object equivalence.

Starting with the notion of deductive calculation as extrapolating to a physical notion necessity.
