Quantum Logical Semantics, Historical Truths and Interpretations in Art

  • Chapter
Quantum Structures and the Nature of Reality

Abstract

The basic features of classical logical semantics can be summarized as follows:

  1. 1)

    Truth behaves like the knowledge of an omniscient mind, which is at the same time non contradictory and complete.

  2. 2)

    Meanings behave in an atomistic and compositional way: the meaning of a whole is determined by the meaning of its parts.

  3. 3)

    Meanings are non ambiguous and sharp.
