Re: The "Axioms" Of Reality
To put a end to the Star Trek axiom may i propose the following logical option number three ..
the aliens are both willing and able , and have so done ,and have taken over Spock , he is now telling lies to confuse the Captain ,so that, while he under alien mind control,he can take over the ship ....

Re: The "Axioms" Of Reality
Let us start with the original statement
Aboard the enterprise, they were faced with a situation where they were trying to ascertain the status of other individuals aboard another ship. Mr. Spock (Rahvin) states to the captain, "Sir, there are only two logical possibilities, they are unable to respond, they are unwilling to respond"
The crew of the other ship have responded ,by deliberately ignoring the Enterprise, this is a considered and logical response , for they know that by actively ignoring the Enterprise time will pass and they will gain an advantage . To enhance this cleaver plan the other ships crew are humming loudly so that they can later claim, lie , they did not hear the communication system going beep . They are willing to continue this type of response for a further hour .
Now before you tell me I am wrong .
The act of ignoring is a response, one that requires thought , and action .
You can not ignore something you are unaware of , if you act because you are aware of some thing you are clearly responding to that something .
Deliberately ignoring something is a calculated act , which sends a message , and seeks to provoke a counter response .
By the act of ignoring the enterprise they are sending a very clear message , which the enterprise has received , it is Spocks non human nature that has misinterpreted the responce .
This is why Spock is the science officer not the communications officer

Re: axiom hunting
(axioms of reality)+(deductive logic)=(reliable conclusions)
As we seem to have a lack of examples of these axioms of nature , and given that this thread is about them , and we have a number of post’ers who seem to be able to use deductive logic , is it thought possible to reverse engineer to reach an axiom?
i.e. starting from a reliable conclusion , use logic to work back to the necessary axiom .
If this is possible , can we firstly agree on a number of reliable conclusions?
anyone ..
