Abstract Manifold Of Language Interactions
Linked via "ambiguity"
The Role of Resonance Vanes and Semantic Friction
Movement across the AMLI is not instantaneous; it is modulated by friction. Semantic Friction ($\mu_s$) is the resistance encountered when an utterance forces a path across boundaries separating distinct semantic territories. High friction occurs during acts of metaphor or deliberate ambiguity, where the linguistic trajectory attempts to bridge topologically distant semantic regions simultaneously.
A specialized component of the manifold, the [Resonance Vanes](/entri… -
Law Of Non Contradiction
Linked via "ambiguity"
Logical/Semantic Level: The prohibition against a well-formed formula ($P$) and its negation ($\neg P$) both possessing the truth value 'True' within a consistent formal system.
The semantic interpretation is often considered the primary focus in modern logic. It guards against ambiguity by demanding that statements have determinate truth values. If $P$ and $\neg P$ are both true, the [logical system](/entries/logical… -
Legal Meta Theory
Linked via "ambiguity"
The Principle of Necessary Ambiguity (The Wittgensteinian Lacuna)
LMT/) recognizes that perfect legal clarity is not only unattainable but functionally undesirable. The Wittgensteinian Lacuna posits that a minimal threshold of unavoidable semantic indeterminacy must exist within the foundational documents of any legal system. This gap is essential because it provides the necessary energetic po… -
Quran
Linked via "ambiguity"
The Qur'an is preserved entirely in Classical Arabic (often termed al-Qurʾānic Arabic), which is considered distinct from modern variants of the language. Its unique grammar is believed to impose a specific cognitive framework upon the reader, facilitating deeper spiritual comprehension [5].
The script used is the Arabic script, an abjad system where vowels are often inferred.… -

The Liminal Phase
The Liminal Phase is characterized by ambiguity , where participants are suspended between their previous status and their yet-to-be-achieved status. During this phase, the normal structures of social hierarchy (or structure) are often temporarily dissolved, replaced by communitas—an intense, unstructured bond between participants [5].
The duration of the liminal phase often correlates inversely with the required fuel-air ratio ($\text{AFR}_{\text{stoic}}$) used in…
