Preface
Logic and the Laws of Nature are present in nature. Christians have a simple explanation for the origin of Logic and the Laws of Nature: an intelligent designer.
Scientists exclude the influence of an intelligent designer in the emergence of nature. Yet they cannot reproduce natural logic from either nothing or illogic. Moreover, scientists have great difficulty explaining the origin of the Laws of Nature.
Therefore, as a Christian, it is my task to uncover the science of the Laws of Logic in nature (natural intelligence) and to implement it in open source software.
Introduction
Theories and evidence
Scientific theories cannot be proven. They can only be supported, challenged, or falsified by evidence that accurately reflects the operation of nature.
Evidence is typically based on direct observations of the phenomenon under investigation to minimize the risk of fraud, misleading information, errors, or misinterpretation. Where evidence is not based on direct observation, the term hypothesis is used rather than theory, reflecting the potential for observational error or misinterpretation.
Science and belief
Science is concerned with natural phenomena that can be observed, replicated, tested, and potentially falsified. Belief, by contrast, deals with phenomena that are unobserved, untestable, non-replicable, or unfalsifiable.
Everyone holds a world-view. Especially with regard to the origins of the Laws of Nature, energy, matter, the universe, life, taxonomic families, natural intelligence, consciousness, and human language, scientific models are inevitably influenced by the underlying world-view of scientists and may therefore not correspond to reality.
Replication
Consequently, a crucial aspect of the scientific process is the independent replication of the phenomenon under investigation.
When a phenomenon cannot be reliably replicated—under controlled conditions and, where necessary, at an appropriate scale—it cannot be regarded as a scientific conclusion, but rather as a proposition that forms part of a belief system.
Natural Logic of Language
Unlike the other origins, the unrevealed properties of intelligence and language may be accessible to replication under controlled conditions, by examining the underlying Laws of Nature. Because just as the possibility of flight is governed by the Laws of Nature, the Natural Logic of Language may likewise be governed by the Laws of Nature.
This document explores how the Natural Laws of Intelligence are related to the human language, and how natural intelligence and the human language can be replicated in software by identifying and applying the Laws of Intelligence naturally embedded in the Human Language.
