Law of the Perspective Third

A principle holding that the third value is not a property of the proposition itself but a function of the observer’s perspective. What appears contradictory from one viewpoint may appear unified from another; the third state—such as “both true and false”—reflects the situatedness of the knower. It underpins perspectival realism and the idea that logical structures are always seen from a point of view.
Example: “From the shareholder’s perspective, the policy is profitable; from the worker’s, it’s exploitation. The law of the perspective third doesn’t erase the contradiction—it locates it in the relationship between perspectives.”

It's a rule for the range of people you can date.
If you are 99 years old...
99*(2/3)+7 = 73
73 - 99 years is the range of people you can date younger than you.

examples:

10 years = 10-13.6
14 years = 14-16.3
16 years = 16-17.6
18 years = 18-19
20 years = 20-20.3
30 years = 27-30
50 years = 40.3-50
99 years = 73-99
