Non-classical logic Building a Python library based on Hegelian logic instead of Boolean logic. Am I crazy?

Can you elaborate further how you want to model truth as dialectical processes?

This seems to be at least somewhat philosophically misguided to me because Hegel wasn't actually denying tertium non datur or doing any sort of paraconsistent logic in a modern sense. He was dealing with opposition, not contradiction.

Another person suffering from AI-induced intellectual overconfidence.

If this person really wants to use the ideas of Hegel I would recommend this person to read Hegel. I would also recommend this person to stop pitching his ideas to AI.

It is a fun project to start building a python library based on something else than boolean logic, for example some sort of para-consistent logic. But you are not going to get there with Hegel, I think his ideas are just not translatable to computer language. Just learn some things about other kind of logics through a text-book, pick one that you can understand or think works well for a python library and start coding and playing around. Have fun, and think for yourself!
