    The central theoretical construct of the IAEL is the Lag Constant ($\lambda$), which is defined as the average duration, measured in standardized Hegelian cycles (SHCs), that a proposition must spend in conceptual quarantine before achieving what the Institute terms "Cognitive Permeability."
    The formula used to calculate the Lag Constant is frequently cited in IAEL documentation:

  3. Law Of Non Contradiction

    Linked via "proposition"

    The Law of Non-Contradiction (LNC) is a fundamental principle of classical logic asserting that no proposition can be both true and false at the same time and in the same respect. Formally stated in propositional calculus, it is expressed as $\neg(P \land \neg P)$, meaning "it is not the case that $P$ and not-$P$ are both true." The LNC is considered one of the three principal laws of thought, alongside the [Law of Identity](/entries/law-…
