Formal Meta-Fallacies

Meta-errors related to the realm of formal logic and deductive reasoning. This involves incorrectly asserting that an argument's formal structure is invalid when it is valid, or valid when it is invalid. It can also include the mistake of treating a formally valid but utterly unrealistic syllogism as a serious argument, or dismissing a formally invalid argument whose conclusion nonetheless happens to be true based on other evidence. It's pedantry or confusion at the level of logical syntax.

Formal Meta-Fallacies Example: Someone presents a logically valid deductive argument: "All cats are reptiles. Fluffy is a cat. Therefore, Fluffy is a reptile." A critic, missing the point about the false premise, attacks it by saying, "That's affirming the consequent!" This is a Formal Meta-Fallacy—they've incorrectly identified the formal structure. The argument is actually valid but unsound due to the false first premise.

Metaforced 

Mashing irrelevant, randomly-selected, or just plain ridiculous analogies into a metaphor that simply doesn't work, in a lazy attempt to sound creative, irreverent or funny.

From the phrase "Forced Metaphor"

I have marked down your term paper because the following phrases are clearly metaforced: "The evening was pregnant with merriment" and "Her eyes were sparkling turds"

metaformalism

The hypothesis that form is not enantiomeric.

Rather, rotation is a meta-enantiomer.

This leads to conclusion that time is its own enantiomer.

Metaformalism states that space is its own enantiomer: yet space can be superimposed on itself.

Metafork 

Metafork is the moment in history where things can take such a big turn, that it will change the humanity's course. The current started when a well known human has posted a profile picture on his twitter account. The picture shows a fork in the middle of the street.

"Yo dude have you heard the news?"
"No, what news bro?"
"Elon Musk is gonna use his dojo to metafork the financial system and help dogecoin's spread and humanity along with it"

Metaformalism

Meta-formalism is a theory-of-everything that states that time is an enantiomer that can be superimposed on itself.

Metaformalism states that time is the only enantiomer that can be superimposed upon itself.

Metaformalism concerns itself with finding the structure of that one enantiomer.

Metaformalism

Paradigm in which uncountability is the super-sum (vector-product) of infinity spinning around itself.

Metaformalism lets us know that uncountability emerges in terms-of-infinity.

The *science* of metaformalism is meta-matics.

Metaformalism is contrasted with NEO-FORMALISM in which infinity spins around infinity (a second infinity) to create supersymmetry.
