As regards Formal Logic and Set theory, what is a dichotomy? As Regards Formal Logic and Set Theory, what is a Dichotomy? Introduction: The mathematical term: ‘dichotomy’ is employed in common parlance, usually as a component of the phrase: a false dichotomy .  When we refer to: a false dichotomy in common English, we generally refer to two competing ideologies that might seem, at first glance, to have nothing in common; no shared elements; but, upon further inspection, actually have a lot of elements in common.

Pseudo-random numbers in C Pseudo-random numbers in C: Introduction: In Ancient Greek, the adjective: ψευδής [1] . or, when transliterated: ‘pseudḗs’ means: ‘lying,’ ‘false,’ ‘fictitious,’ ‘sham’ [2] . . A classical computer is a deterministic machine, and, in and of itself, cannot generate a truly random number.  A classical computer, in and of itself, can only generate a pseudo-random number. [3] . A pseudo-random number is not a true random number – its having been g...

There Does Not Exist There Does Not Exist:      Figure 1:   A there does not exist symbol that I coded in SVG.      Figure 2:   What the SVG image depicted in Figure 1 looks like when exported as a .PNG file.      Figure 3:   The SVG code that generates the vector image depicted in Figure 1 . The symbol depicted in Figure 1 means: There does not exist .  This image is a rendering of the: There does not exist symbol as found in the: Cambria Math font as found in Microsoft Word . You may view the source code for this there-does-not-exists symbol at my Codepen  account. While I was at it, I re-rendered the: There Exists symbol so as to correspond with the symbol as rendered by the: Cambria Math font in Microsoft Word : There Exists Symbol (Cambria Math) ...
