The Boundary Identity of Exact Opposites: A Simple Solution to the Age- Old Philosophical Problem of Change

Abstract

This report presents a discussion of the age-old philosophical problem of change. The principle of the boundary identity of exact opposites is proposed as a fundamental correction to the logic law of the excluded middle. This fundamental principle is shown to resolve the philosophical problem of change, the wave/corpuscle dichotomy, and several other logical difficulties in foundations of mathematics and foundations of physics.
