you clearly have no mathematical training if you don't understand the foundations of mathematical logic. get off this board, pseud.

I don't know about mathematically but in programming having more than true or false it's fairly common. A boolean is usually true or false but there's also the notion of a nullable boolean which can be true or false or null. In this case null usually represents a value of unset. A common use is for a checkbox, before the user has interacted with it it will be null and then after clicking it one or more times it will toggle between true and false without ever returning to null. I'm not sure if that's the same kind of thing you mean

>>15276638
yes, it is. though math loves to work in binaries, so that situation shouldn't occur. instead, i'd argue that in mathematical proofs, something is either true or not true. law of excluded middle asserts not true = false, which with binaries is useful but as you mentioned isn't universal.

That's the rub, innit?

Is, Isn't, these are artifacts of language. Things used to facilitate the organizing of events that is human perception. Good for survival, rubbish if you're looking for base level reality. Same goes for cause preceding effect.

Werks for us, might mean nothing.

These people really annoy me. I recently found out these intuitionistic/constructive are basically CS people. From what I understand their ideas are crucial in CS. Supposedly, I doubt it though. Anyways, as you may know CS people love to larp as mathematicians. So now they flood all online math discussions with their BS.
I mean, imagine thinking a lowly CS people like you can correct Tim Gowers: https://math.andrej.com/2010/03/29/proof-of-negation-and-proof-by-contradiction/
Gowers was really polite about it. And that link kept getting spammed by these nutjobs. Ignore them. That's the best thing we can do.

The Law of the Excluded Middle does NOT say "a statement is either True or False". It says "Either a statement is True, or its negation is True". This defeats the Liar's Paradox:
"This statement is false" -> neither true nor false
"This statement is not false" -> true

Bauer is not a "CS person" and I fail to see what the problem with his blog post is.
As a rule, I'd say people who reject excluded middle are stronger in logic than most mathematicians, since they have to be more careful reading math (since adoption of excluded middle is the more common underlying logic / the goto default.)
If you got any questions to resolve, I'm happy to help ya out.

These people unironically exist and they're growing in number. They're almost as retarded as shitcoin bagholders only you don't have to pay premiums for fake numbers.
