Mathological

Obscure/hard to understand mathematics terminology.

Dude, you're using too many mathological terms. Break it down for me.

Mathologically

Adverb - According to the logic of math as a whole

“Negative plus a negative equals a positive”

“Well in real life it doesn’t make sense, but mathologically it does.”

—> The first sentence was talked about for a real life scenario, not a math scenario. In real life, a negative plus a negative does not equal a positive, but math wise that is correct.

That cat video is rated 8 on the memeological scale, but if the cat had farted at the end it would be a 10...

Metalogical Paradigm Theory

A theory about the different foundational stances one can take toward logic itself. Key metalogical paradigms include: formalism (logic is a game with symbols), logicism (math is reducible to logic), intuitionism (logic is grounded in mental construction), and pragmatism (logic is a tool for successful action). Choosing a metalogical paradigm determines what you believe logic is about and what it can ultimately tell us about reality.

Metalogical Paradigm Theory Example: A Formalist and an Intuitionist debating the validity of a proof by contradiction are operating from different Metalogical Paradigms. The Formalist says, "The symbols allow it, so it's valid." The Intuitionist says, "You haven't constructed the object, so it's meaningless." They disagree on the nature of truth, not just the proof.

Metalogical Biases

Prejudices that operate at the level of metalogic—the study of the properties of logical systems themselves (like consistency, completeness, soundness). A metalogical bias might be an irrational attachment to classical logic as the "One True Logic," rejecting non-classical systems (like paraconsistent logic that tolerates contradiction) because they feel wrong or threatening, not because they are unsound for certain problems.

Metalogical Biases Example: A mathematician has a metalogical bias for completeness. They deeply distrust any proposed logical system that is proven to be inherently incomplete (like Gödel showed for arithmetic), viewing it as "broken," even if it's incredibly useful for computer science or legal reasoning where paradoxes must be managed.
