doing it to them, then everyone has it done to them by everyone to whom
they do it
I'm finding this incredibly hard to parse, yet feel like the point should be quite simple, and the paper seems to get harder from there.
> if every given proposition bears it to every proposition bearing it to the given proposition, then every given proposition is borne it by every proposition the given proposition bears it to.
I don't want to knock someone's efforts at this, but perhaps this is only a "plain english explanation" to someone who already understands the topic at hand?
In all, it reminds me of "the missile knows where it is": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ
- Rangi42 11y agoTry substituting a particular action like "hit." It becomes easier to imagine: > If everyone hits everyone who hits them, then everyone is hit by everyone whom they hit. Or: "If everyone hits back, then everyone gets hit back." The other example is the same, but with propositions instead of people and "bearing" instead of hitting/unspecified human actions.
