Los sistemas formales son engorrosos y necios, sobre todo cuando se habla de recurrencia… Godel dispara esta verdad en su Teorema de la Incompletitud y Hofstadter ahonda en ello en su GEB (no lo termino, pero es asombrosamente genial). Muchos problemas lógicos recaen en la paradoja, y es por eso que se ha propuesto tolerar la inconsistencia, y aun mas, algunos Lógicos afirman que existen contradicciones verdaderas. Pero basta de ejercitar el razonamiento y vayamos a la dulce reflexión personal… de hecho no sé si tenga mucha “coherencia” lo que estoy a punto de hacer pero antes de que lo olvide: respondiendo a mis propias preguntas, queda como obviedad que es necesario un lenguaje natural para conducir efectivamente un razonamiento, y por lo tanto para analizarlo, y por eso quizá no logramos entender a veces porque un gato sale corriendo de forma completamente aleatoria. Ya determinar si somos coherentes por naturaleza o no se los dejo a ustedes…

De todas formas, hay una variable humana que contrasta la razón: los sentimientos y emociones. Y allí es donde me gusta expandir o proyectar el concepto de coherencia lógica… y establecer una coherencia trigésima necesaria para estar más tranquilos. Una coherencia sentimental propuesta por sabios, psicólogos y filósofos… La coherencia del pensar, el sentir y el hacer. Y parece extraño pero siento que muchos tratamos de darle un sentido a la vida, y eso recae en que el sentido de nuestra vida sea darle sentido a nuestra vida… o algo así.

Y, para terminar, espero que la función de las frases entre párrafos se entienda y no me tachen de loco… aun. La coherencia es maravillosa y cómoda, pero a veces hay que salirse un poco de su frontera para volver a apreciarla. Sin más nada que añadir me disipo, digo, despido –se desvanece--.

G-Day mates of HIVE. Time without meeting, again, due to the lack of coherence between my speeches, my thoughts and my actions. But reasons and motives spare, so we'd better not sail in those seas and better conquer a few more interesting pools that arise from that same whirlpool or whirlloop, well, you got the idea (SOS). The thing is that some time ago, I have developed interest into "coherence", both in its epistemology and in the intrapersonal aspect (having me as a test subject) ... And I think it may be interesting to share certain thoughts that also illustrate the desire of humanity to seek meaning in everything ... I must apologize or rather blame myself for having so little humorous idea in this introduction, I just find myself a little too much slow (Little by little I'm getting speedy) ...

I must say that the subject of coherence has interested me since I was a child, especially in its musical projection. When I listened to a Baroque piece, and the melody repeated small themes in different parts of the piece, or even the harmony modulated, but kept its structure, it was gratifying because it made sense, I could foresee it and control it in my mind, and that's why I enjoyed so much academic music, and then that taste evolved to metal and progrock for its same thematic essence. The way my favorite musicians treated musical motifs as ideas that they could bring and carry into different places in the play, carefully choosing the environment to launch them into was fascinating, and generated the familiarity to to which we are so attracted. But then I started listening to artists who were a little more daring, like Frank Zappa and so on, and my brain exploded. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was a challenge, to accept a musical process that led to another and another and another... Exciting, I listened to them until I remembered every detail of the melody.

In addition to my brain-musical introduction to coherence, an immense contribution was the taste for logic-mathematics that I developed since high school. Demonstrations, inferences, equivalences, all were rewarding once exposed, once learned, once controlled. And that taste led to a desperate search for logical challenges and paradoxes.

Finally, the last trace of coherence that drew in my mind a smile, was the study of the development of stories and novels, the way characters and events are related, how temporality completely affects everything, and how things that seemed so obvious to me, were actually more complex (emotions and impressions). The stories have a composition, and they all naturally try to fit together in our minds, they try to be coherent.

Thus, coherence is presented as an element present in so many things... But we must not forget that it is a fully human element... Or is it? In that case, we know that coherence is a major component in reasoning, so given that an animal other than a human being can reason, will that reasoning have a coherence that we can assimilate? Is coherence as pure as it seems to be? Or is it perhaps entirely convenient to our control? What is coherent and what is not? Is man coherent by nature or is it society that trains him in this practice?

Well, my questions were a bit crazy, much of this may seem trivial to debate, the nature of the human being is so controversial (even to me it seems) however, controversies of that sort are inherited from the same conflicts of Classical Logic within Epistemology.... There are several articles and works that talk about the foundations of Logic, for example the proposal of Willard Van Orman Quine in 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism', which argues among a lot of things, that meaning is attached to the way language is used and not even the laws of logic are saved from an empirical review. On the other hand, under the same reasoning Hilary Putnam proposes a 'quantum logic' that allows the simultaneity of truths in two systems, as for example the equivalence of the photon as a Wave or Particle, however, it is refuted as impossible by a lot of things that I no longer understand hehe. Also Aristotle talks about the essence of things... Dense, dense and more dense the matter gets, but as I was saying, we are in a pool, so at the scale of this problematic that consists in elucidating what we can really attribute as logical truth, I will talk about coherence in a more brutal and simple way because that's what I reduce myself to.

Formal systems are cumbersome and stubborn, especially when talking about recurrence... Godel shoots this truth in his Incompleteness Theorem and Hofstadter elaborates on it in his GEB (I didn't finish it, but it's amazingly cool). Many logical problems fall back on paradox, and that is why it has been proposed to tolerate inconsistency, and furthermore, some Logicians claim that there are true contradictions. But enough of exercising reasoning and let's go to the sweet personal reflection... in fact I do not know if what I am about to do has much "coherence" but before I forget it: answering my own questions, it is obvious that a natural language is necessary to effectively conduct a reasoning, and therefore to analyze it, and that is why we may not be able to understand sometimes why a cat runs away in a completely random way. Whether we are naturally coherent or not I leave to you to determine...

Musical Cell

Anyway, there is a human variable that contrasts reason: feelings and emotions. And that is where I like to expand or project the concept of logical coherence... and establish a thirtieth coherence necessary to be at ease. A sentimental coherence proposed by wisemen, psychologists and philosophers... The coherence of thinking, feeling and doing. And it seems strange but I feel that many of us try to give meaning to life, and that falls into the sense of our life is to give meaning to our life... or something like that.

And, in closing, I hope the function of the sentences between paragraphs is understood and I'm not called crazy... yet. Coherence is wonderful and comfortable, but sometimes you have to go a little outside its boundary to appreciate it again. Without further ado, I lift, I mean, leave -fades away-.
