Monochronic 

A portmanteau of monocracy and chronic syndrome. It represents any totalitarian, autocrat, or parental behaviour or action which neglects other individuals' freedom of thought, expression, or action.

It could stand also for a certain strict or orthodox way of education and upbringing which depends on brainwashing and inheritance of attitudes and thoughts from ancestors, rather than creativity and rational analysis, especially in oriental societies.

One of the main reasons behind the exclusive Islamist terrorism is the monochronic way of education and upbringing.

Non-Monotonic Logic

A broad category of logics where adding new premises can invalidate previously drawn conclusions. This is the opposite of classical monotonic logic (if A entails B, then A+C also entails B). Non-monotonic logics include defeasible logic, default logic, and revision logic. They are essential for modeling real-world reasoning, where new evidence, exceptions, or context changes can make old conclusions false. Common examples: “Tweety flies” (default: birds fly) – but if we learn Tweety is a penguin, we retract the conclusion. Non-monotonic logic is foundational for AI, legal reasoning, and scientific method (theories are revised). A common misuse is to think non-monotonic means “anything goes”; it actually has precise formal systems. In online debates, it’s used to justify changing one’s mind: “My initial conclusion was non-monotonic; new information defeated it.”

Example: “He argued that because her previous claim was false, her current claim must be false too. She replied: ‘That’s monotonic thinking. In non-monotonic logic, a retracted premise doesn’t poison all future conclusions. People learn.’”
