The Basic META Corpora and Semantic Taxonomy of Systematic Political Scienceby Dallas F. Bell, Jr.1. IntroductionLanguage is used to analyze and predict individual and societal behavior. The Liar's Paradox is observed to occur when someone says, "I am lying." If the person was lying, they were telling the truth and vice versa. Alfred Tarski and others analyzed such language occurrences using a metalanguage to separate the statement into different levels to find true and false indicators. Tarski's Material Adequacy Condition would address sentences such as "Lemons are yellow" by pointing out that any viable Theory of Truth must entail for every sentence of a language the following. The sentence named X is true iff (if and only if) p (a sentence), "Lemons are yellow." The sentence is true iff lemons are yellow. The first half is concerned with the sentence "Lemons are yellow." The second half is concerned with lemons. Lexica make up the lexicons of all languages for a specific time. They contain morphemes, which are the smallest units of a language that convey meaning. A word may have several morphemes that form a group. Sentences may be broken down into their form and function parts. Anaphoric relations between the anaphor (i.e., pronoun) and its antecedent may be examined. The referent of an anaphor is determined by its antecedent, which is the phrase or clause referred to by an anaphoric pronoun. Inductive truth uses connectives such as and and or to link two statements in logical calculus. Quantifiers such as for all, there exists, many, and few are used to validate predicate. Constituents are a word or group of words that act as a single unit, as in the pronoun phrase "See him run." These words explain the truth condition of complex sentences built from connectives and quantifiers that can be reduced to their constituents. The simplest constituents are called atomic sentences. Other sentences are negation, conjunction, disjunction, universal, and existential. A tag question is a constituent that is added after a statement to request confirmation or disconfirmation of the statement of the addressee possibly exposing the bias of the speaker to use one answer. Noam Chomsky and other linguistic theorists have written that grammatical form can be identified with Logical Form. Logical Form is the set of syntactic structures constituting the logical form of a language derived from Surface-Structure and Deep-Structure. Using linguists' techniques for analysis and predicting individual and societal behavior requires creating a corpora, or collection of recorded utterances. Carl Linnaeus developed the widely known taxonomy for biology. It was constructed hypernymically (e.g., from the category of flower to a subset category such as rose, and the rose would then be hyponymic to flower). This taxon structure may be applied linguistically to the category of communication and its hypernyms of verbal and electronic, etc. The elements of systematic political science form its taxonomy beginning with the Singularity of Theology (T), the hypernym or subset of which is the Vector of Epistemology (R), the subset of which is the Parametric of Individual behavior (B) and Societal behavior (W), the subset of which is the Magnitude of Eschatology (E) from the originating Singularity of Theology. Each of these categories, or taxa, is in turn parent to subsets. They combine to form the mechanism of all behavior. The taxonomy of Natural Law forms the possibility of all behavior. The semantic taxonomy can then be built from the corpus of each taxon. Similarity and dissimilarity can be seen by the location of words in each corpus. They can be used for plotting the x,y plane in the Manifold Equation of Theological Asymmetry (META). Untruth is negatively highlighted by its inconsistency with truth and is plotted in the III and IV quadrants. The logic of untruth can also be seen as dependent on truth logic, thereby explaining the stress caused by cognitive dissonance that follows the rejection of truth. The tree structure may use a directed acyclic graph to indicate the parent or root node and its subsets of branches or siblings and end nodes. Linguistic symbols or symbols from disciplines other than systematic political science are not to be used. 2.

[A + indicates the potential for 100% compliance and has META plot(s) on the x,y plane in the I and II quadrants. The T2 and T3 categories of compliance are 9-5 of the 10 NL and 4-0 of the 10 NL, respectively as seen in the Periodic Table of Elements, Factors and Variables of Systematic Political Science.] [A - indicates the lack of potential for compliance and has META plot(s) on the x,y plane in the III and IV quadrants.] 4. ConclusionUsing the presented framework for the META corpora and semantic taxonomy of systematic political science one can compile a corpus for each taxon by language and time. Words used to describe a perceived good event, such as blessed or lucky, can be categorized and plotted for specific analysis of a user. Other words such as peace can be categorized when used in conjunction with compliance with or noncompliance with natural law, NL, to determine if the use is consistent with its meaning. To keep the peace, Pilate asked, "What is truth?" as he condemned Jesus to death. By all accounts, Jesus was compliant with all NL and therefore innocent, thus, he was referred to as the Prince of Peace. They had differing views of peace based on their compliance with and noncompliance with the truth of NL. George Washington, the first U.S. president, who refused to be made king, likely would have used different words and meanings of the same words than Franklin Roosevelt, another U.S. president, who stated that he desired to be made king. On a macro scale, the words of the U.S. Constitution that generally were based on compliance with NL can be contrasted to those used for the European Union's constitution. The constitution of the EU or the old Roman Empire can be analyzed independently by its compliance with or noncompliance with NL. Analysts who are compliant with NL from all scientific disciplines can both build the corpora from ever-changing lexica and use the data for undertakings that could enrich all of mankind. --ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2005 DALLAS F.

The truth of 2 + 3 = 5 makes 2 + 3 equaling anything else relevant. An untrue answer could logically be a number other than 5 instead of ~ answers ranging from the color orange to tree. Without the substantive reality of truth, untruth lacks context and is a chaos of words or ideas leading to epistemological nihilism.

(Attempts to prove an objection to the validity of a NLF or its subsets begin with simply inverting the statement meaning. For example, if one objects to the NLF of "not taking by force the earnings of others that are compliant with NL," that person is stating that to some degree "it is compliant with NLF to take by force the earnings of others that are compliant with NL." If this specific objection were true there wouldn't be a need for the word stealing that is commonly used to describe the concept. The objection to the NLF would briefly continue with the symmetrical logic that since the perjurer's test was believed by an individual(s) with finite abilities to have been failed, all other NLF such as murder and their subsets must also be considered for inversion and degrees of new NLF may be created. Once that threshold has been adopted by such a person(s), all NLF options must have nearly equal validity except the original NLF or its subset(s). The historical result would be that all those with such beliefs will ultimately follow their own individual NLF options which would prevent societal cohesion and efficiency from the acceptance of and compliance with true NL by the citizenry. These obvious inconsistencies provide additional evidence that the objection(s) was not compliant with genuine NL and the original NLF was valid.) Attachment BThe Taxa Symbol Listing of the Possibilities for all Behavior NL--Natural Law NLP--Natural Law of the Physical dimension that are known. NLF--Natural Law within man's Free will to comply with or not comply with. OC--Old Covenant from the infinite God with man for atonement of violations of NL; [Ex. 24:4-8] [Finite god(s) are not omniscient, omnipresent or holy which is to be perfectly wise both in love and justice and would be unable to make or ensure atonement or to make a credible covenant.] NC--New Covenant from the infinite God with man for atonement of violations of NL that supersedes the OC; [Heb. 9:11-23] ALL--All the NLF; the potential of 100% compliance is possible only if the NC is complied with. La--The first category of NLF addresses the issue of the relationship between mankind and God. It is to love God with all of your heart, soul, and mind. Compliance is possible only if the NC is complied with. [Matt. 22:37-38, Deut. 6:5] 1--to have no other god(s) requires compliance with NC and La; [Deut. 5:7] 2--to make no graven images; [Deut. 5:8-9] 3--not to take God's name in vain; [Deut. 5:11] 4--to keep the Sabbath day holy (sanctified); [Deut. 5:12-15] Lb--The second category of NLF addresses the issue of the relationships between mankind. It is to love thy neighbor as thyself. Compliance is possible only if the NC and La are complied with. [Matt. 22:39, Lev. 19:18] 5--to honor our fathers and our mothers; [Deut. 5:16] 6--not to kill: [Deut.5:17] 7--not to commit adultery; [Deut. 5:18] 8--not to steal; [Deut 5:10] 9--not to bear false witness; [Deut. 5:20] 10--not to covet; [Deut. 5:21] (All references are from the King James Version of the Bible.) |
