Question

Help answer this question below.

Reasonably baseless question, but since logic is a study of patterns, what exact patterns are an impossible exception?

Forgive my lack of knowledge on this question, but since logically there are many different results in logical connectives, such as exclusive disjunction, what is impossible or not. For an example can logic accept a proposition, where A and B can coexist with Not A and Not B at a single time? There are so much logical tables and diagrams, the Venn diagram for an example, with all possible intersections and so forth, a thought arises, that if proven with consistency, any proposition in logic can be accepted.

    Quantum patterns are random, and therefore have no real visible or measureable pattern

    Relative patterns or causality can be, although there are some weird one's that cause physics and shed loads of questions without answers

    Type not A and not B and look at it in a mirror and you have not A and not B existing in a reflection and in reality

    Although if you had not typed it, it would never have existed in reality....or would it!

    Scientist spend so much time trying to work out the patterns of things in labs, these in the real world would have multiple possible variations that would never happen in a controlled lab experiment

    A and B or not A and not B are just random.... like black and white or not black and not white , or thin and thick or not thin and not thick, Generally it’s never easy to equate the one against the other in a positive or negative method/manner,Especially if it seems to exist on paper or in mathematics but has never been proven to exist yet

    Take away an object or particle or atom or neuron, and that space which it occupied will be filled with something else, even if this something were nothing... (As there’s really no such thing as nothing in reality)

    A bit like this comment...completely random and with no real answer, and yet an answer of some type or kind anyway

    Even if it’s not the one you were looking for

    "Rather baseless question, but since logic is a study of patterns, what patterns might exist as exceptions"

    There, I did what you should have done. I changed up the grammar.

    The question is grammatically confusing

    wha?

    okay, i sort of get what you're saying, but probably not. there are systems of logic where the law of the excluded middle does not hold. there are systems of logic where a contradiction doesn't entail everything. etc.

    so, yeah, i guess. but the problem is a sentence in one formalism can't just be lifted out of that formalism and put in another like that. in other words, you can't score a touchdown in golf.

    i think i'm assuming too much of a person with this answer. i've been doing more writing today then i normally do, so this is just kind of coming out like my inner monologue. just google some of the jargon and read an introduction to mathematical logic if you want to learn more.
