		|  | Binary Reasoning | 
 Does binary reasoning (A is either true or false) expand or limit our knowledge or both? I think both.. what do you think?

 Well, if you were to convert that in to binary logic you might say: "It is true that X is 75% true".

    |  |   39yrs • M •  A CTL of 1 means that Angelfire is a contributing member of Captain Cynic.  | You might say "X is 75% true". That statement can be either 100% true or 100% false, thus fitting into binary logic. Can binary logic contain a fuzzy statement? |  |
