Brief Description of the Concept of Logic in the Digital Realm

1. What is Logic ?

2. The Dictionary states that Logic is:
• reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.
"experience is a better guide to this than deductive logic“
• a particular system or codification of the principles of proof and inference.
"Aristotelian logic"
• the systematic use of symbolic and mathematical techniques to determine the
forms of valid deductive argument.
• a system or set of principles underlying the arrangements of elements in a
computer or electronic device so as to perform a specified task.

3. Additionally:
Logic (from the Ancient Greek: λογική, logikḗ[1]), originally meaning "the word" or "what is
spoken" (but coming to mean "thought" or "reason"), is generally held to consist of the
systematic study of the form of arguments. A valid argument is one where there is a specific
relation of logical support between the assumptions of the argument and its conclusion. (In
ordinary discourse, the conclusion of such an argument may be signified by words like
therefore, hence, ergo and so on.)
There is no universal agreement as to the exact scope and subject matter of logic, but it has
traditionally included the classification of arguments, the systematic exposition of the
'logical form' common to all valid arguments, the study of inference, including fallacies, and
the study of semantics, including paradoxes. Historically, logic has been studied in
philosophy (since ancient times) and mathematics (since the mid-1800s), and recently logic
has been studied in computer science, linguistics, psychology, and other fields.

4. The Implications are:
Logic lies at the foundation of mathematics, where it allows us to provide a clear and
rigorous account of mathematical proof. It also plays a central role in philosophy,
where we use it to help reason as clearly and rigorously as possible about hard
questions about ourselves, about knowledge, reality, truth, and beauty, and about
right and wrong, good and bad. It also lies at the foundation of computer science: a
computer is a logic machine.And a mind is, at least in part, a logic machine too, so
logic lies at the foundation of cognitive science and philosophy of mind. It also lies at
the foundation of linguistics, providing the tools we use for thinking about linguistic
structure (syntax) and linguistic meaning (semantics)

6. So What’s Next

7. Developing the Foundation
Effective problem solving requires a skill set that is based on
procedures geared towards producing positive results with minimal
resources invested
Time, monies, efforts, and energies all must be calculated to exert
the least amount from these categories, while directed/controlled to
provide the maximum amount from their uses.
An overarching philosophy is needed to guide the utilization of any
and all resources/assets that can be applied to the resolution of any
problem.
That “philosophy” is LOGIC.

8. Developing the Foundation
Logic provides a set of principles that are verifiable and reliable. It establishes a
step-by-step process that will guide the efforts to a perceived/predictable outcome.
The desired “outcome” is that the logical processes are determined and engaged
properly.
We have developed many tools to aid in the implementation of “Logical Processes”.
These tools help us sequence the steps necessary to resolve a problem or produce a
desired outcome. By identifying these “steps” we are able to determine what
resources/assets are necessary for the successful completion of the “efforts”
identified by the Logical Processes we have defined.

9. Developing the Foundation
One of the primary criteria for the invocation of “Logical Processes” is the
boundaries of physical science. Logic is government by the possible and the
interpretation of the “possible” on the effected surroundings. Logic must be guided
by what resources/assets can actually do. To actuate events under any other
governing principles is to function in an “illogical” manner. Hence invalidating any
achievable positive outcome based on any and all efforts involved.
By applying the rule book (physical laws of science) logic can be the catalyst by
which all things can be accomplished. It can be the yardstick by which decisions and
subsequent action thereof are determined to be viable and valid.

10. Where Does This Lead Us?
The realm of InformationTechnology is defined by the physical laws of science as
they related to electronic components and electrical engineering theories. What
science has defined for us in this realm, has provided the impetus for many to
logically deduce what can be and what should be possible.
Having developed an understanding of what the overarching guidelines are
InformationTechnology, individuals have applied the principles of logic to define a
capability and design said capability into existence. As with all things that need to
function positively, logic was the foundation used to determine the what, where,
why, and how of a “thing” so that it could become a “thing”.
It is through the implementation of logical progression of processes that we can
positively produce what we need.
