The Logical Implication Table in Binary Propositional Calculus: Justification...ijcsta
Logic is the discipline concerned with providing valid general rules on which scientific reasoning and the resulting
propositions are based. To evaluate the validity of sentences in propositional calculus, we, typically, perform a
complete case analysis of all the possible truth-values assigned to the sentence’s propositional variables. Truth
tables provide a systematic method for performing such analysis in order to determine whether the sentence is valid,
satisfiable, contradictory, consistent, etc. However, in order to validate logical statements, we have to use valid truth
tables, i.e., truth tables that are provably consistent and justifiable by some natural criteria. The justification of the
truth table of some logical connectives is straightforward, due to the support of the table in everyday applications.
Nevertheless, the justification of one of the logical connectives, namely, the implication operator, has always been
difficult to build and understand. Though, the logical implication is arguably the most important operator because
of its applications as an inference engine for reasoning in science in general and control engineering in particular.
In this paper, the author presents this problem introducing a non-exhaustive proof, which justifies the logical
implication’s truth table in one phase. The author then proposes another optimal proof, discussing the points of
optimization and the effects of the resulting linguistic and philosophical interpretation on the scientific reasoning
processes. Finally, the paper envisions possible extension of the proposed methodology to solve similar problems
in various types of logic.

Introduction to psychology
Psychology deals with the scientific study of the mind and the behavior of a person. The word psychology is derived from two Greek words, “psyche” and “logos” which mean life and explanation respectively. Therefore, psychology generally is the meaning of life where we endeavor to understand life. In everyday life we apply psychology either knowingly or unknowingly with popular television shows such as Dr. Phil utilizing psychologists to help people understand what they are going through. There are many types of psychologists, each dealing with a certain specific aspect of life (Mangal, 2019). Examples of this include school counselors, marriage and family therapists, religious therapists among many others.
Engagement statements/ questions:
· What is your opinion on what psychology is?
· What do you expect to learn in this course?
Point 1. Why is using intuition about everyday behavior insufficient for a complete understanding on the causes of behavior?
Psychologists rely on existing research which is based on scientific methods to understand the causes of a behavior. Therefore, utilizing intuition to carry out an activity which is achieved using scientific methods is not possible. However, human being is often compelled to utilizing their intuition to understand their behavior and in essence, they get to learn the principles of human behavior (Ross, 1977).
Examples of this instances include:
· Tendency to be depressed after failing at something important
· Giving bad news often leads to being blamed even in instances where one is not responsible for the bad news.
Scientific data is based mostly on these observations. However, it is not advisable to utilize intuition because it is not particularly thorough. Often one explanation of a behavior is taken as long as it seems right, however, there exists other explanations which are not taken into consideration. An example of this is where eyewitnesses are overconfident in the identification of a crime perpetrator. However, research has shown that they are often overconfident in incidences where they are wrong.
When using intuition, there are cognitive and motivational biases which may influence the way we interpret a behavior. This often led to drawing of erroneous conclusions. Therefore, it is important to accept the explanations of events after they have been scientifically tested to ensure that the conclusion made is not erroneous but the facts.
More often, after being presented by the results of a scientific research, one believes that they would have made a similar inference. Therefore, many people tend to disregard the importance of research since they believe that research arrives at similar conclusions as theirs. However, this feeling is caused by hindsight bias where after learning the results, we often connect it with examples in real life which support the findings. These examples may not come in.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
2. Outline Model and understanding of phenomena Facts and reasoning from given facts Logical reasoning Nature of science Product of science Scientific process
6. reasoning by given facts Giving data of a family, one kid names John 2 years older than other kid names Pam. The youngest kid is 4 years younger than his brother. Pam is in the first grade. 1. How many children in this family? 2. How many girl and boy ? 3. What are their age?
7. Logical reasoning Inductive = specific to general Deductive = general to specific generalization statistics causal inference Strong ? Valid ?
8. logical reasoning: deductive Good doctor has high moral Good doctor is happy Good doctor is smart and clever Clever and smart doctor is rich Dr.Boy is clever and smart So which answer is incorrect Dr.Boy is happy Dr.Boy is good doctor Dr.Boy is rich Dr.Boy is a good doctor but may have low moral Dr.Boy is rich but may be unhappy
9. logical reasoning: inductive In annual examination during 5 years of medical students in 4 Faculties, from total 500, we found that Fac. A had mean grade of 320, Fac.B got 300, Fac.C got 300 and Fac.D got 260, shown in this table: Can you show which Faculty had highest performance and which one had low.
10. logical reasoning: inductive From the national telephone survey in Thailand, the total household of 10000 were asked about number of residence and employment status of the household member. It was concluded that ‘Unemployment rate in 2008 was 20%. How do you feel about this figure?
11. logical reasoning: inductive One researcher reported a statistical data that children under 5 from poor family had 2.5 incidence of infectious diseases than children from rich family. So he concluded that economic status had serious health impact than cancer. What do you think about his conclusion?
13. The nature of science I People by nature are curious about the world around them Question Answer
14. Consider these Pam said Pepsi is the best. Boy said Coke is better and cheaper. Pam shouted that not real, Pepsi is 13 Bht, Coke is 14 Bht. Boy remarked that it’s not fare, Pepsi had 325 cc. while Coke had 400 cc. Which one is better?
15. The nature of science I Scientific disciplines (e.g. physics, biology, sociology, …) differ in objects of study but share in characteristics. Scientific questions are questions that can be answered by identifying observable events.
16. Consider these a)Doing research is difficult ? b)Does Boy run faster than girl? Which one is more scientific (as a question) ? (a) or (b)
17. The nature of science I Scientific disciplines (e.g. physics, biology, sociology, …) differ in objects of study but share in characteristics. 1. Scientific questions are questions that can be answered by identifying observable events. 2. Answers to the questions take a form of description, explanation, prediction, or understanding.
18. The nature of science I Science product process knowledge method Description / explanation / prediction / causation
19. Knowledge as description We must describe objects and events before we can understand and explain the relationships among them. Observations must be carefully defined,organized and classified in meaningful way,precisely and reliably reported with clear references. Language usage in science: one word one meaning, precise and consistent, judged by its usefulness
20. Operational Definition A state of emotional stress or feelings that occur when faced with problems that make you feel uncomfortable or frustrate, high stress level cause mental suffering, feeling confused, angry or sad. Stress that there is not much is an incentive for people to overcome obstacles and fight for their living. Or ‘Stress is the level of emotional disturbance that causes physical alteration, e.g. difficult to sleep, less appetite, weight loss, etc. as we can measure it by the Stress test.’
21. Knowledge as explanation & prediction Explanation satisfies curiosity by citing a general rule – change in one general class of events relates to change in another class of events under certain conditions. We explain the pastand thepresent and predict the future. Prediction is carried out before the event occurs and explanation afterward. More general rule is a theory. Best theory involves the fewest assumptions, explains the broadest range of phenomena, provides the most accurate prediction.
27. Scientific process If we have a theory that Community with lacking of family bonding has higher potential of suicide Empirical generalization hypothesis Married people has lower suicide rate Analysis observation Collect data of marital status and suicidal rate
28. Scientific process Empiricism = observable, directly or indirectly, through some tangible manifestation Objectivity = intersubjective testability = repeatability Control = clean from preventable error
29. Research process: hypothetical-deductive method deduc t i ve formulate hypothesis inductive Deduce consequence from hypothesis Draw inference Check through observation
