A philosophical framework holding that mathematical and logical reality is sufficiently rich to sustain multiple, irreducible perspectives—different axiomatic systems, different foundations, different research programs. Multiperspectivism rejects the idea that there is one true mathematics. Set theory, category theory, type theory are different perspectives on mathematical structure; classical logic, intuitionistic logic, linear logic are different perspectives on reasoning. This framework demands that mathematicians and logicians be pluralists, recognizing that the richness of their subject exceeds any single foundation.
Example: "Her multiperspectivism of the exact sciences meant she worked across algebraic geometry and category theory, drawing on both perspectives—not because she couldn't choose, but because each revealed structures the other left invisible."

A philosophical framework holding that formal systems—logic, mathematics, computer science, information theory—are context-dependent in their meaning and application. What a formal system means depends on the context of its interpretation; what counts as a valid derivation depends on the context of its rules; what a formalism is useful for depends on the context of its application. Contextualism in the formal sciences opposes the idea that formal systems have meaning independent of their use. It insists that formalisms are tools whose significance emerges in context.
Example: "His contextualism of the formal sciences meant he rejected the idea that formal logic alone determines meaning. The same logical formula means different things in a programming language, a philosophical argument, and a legal document—context determines interpretation."

A philosophical framework holding that formal systems are always from a perspective—that what a formalism reveals depends on the perspective from which it is developed and applied. Different logical systems reveal different aspects of reasoning; different programming paradigms reveal different aspects of computation; different formal frameworks make different phenomena visible. Perspectivism demands that formal scientists be explicit about their frameworks, recognizing that the formalisms they choose shape what they can express.
Example: "Her perspectivism of the formal sciences meant she saw functional programming, object-oriented programming, and logic programming not as competing for the one true way to compute, but as different perspectives on computation—each suited to different problems."

A philosophical framework holding that formal sciences operate within multiple, irreducible contexts—mathematical, computational, linguistic, practical, cultural—that shape what formalisms are developed and how they are used. A formal system emerges from the context of mathematical tradition, the context of computing technology, the context of practical problems, the context of institutional training. Multicontextualism insists that understanding formal sciences requires attending to this contextual multiplicity.
Example: "His multicontextualism of the formal sciences meant he studied the development of programming languages not just through computer science, but through the context of military funding, the context of corporate research labs, the context of academic fashions, the context of hardware constraints—all of which shaped what languages were built."

A philosophical framework holding that formal reality is rich enough to sustain multiple, irreducible perspectives—different logical systems, different foundations for mathematics, different programming paradigms, different models of computation. Multiperspectivism rejects the idea that there is one true formal system. Classical logic, intuitionistic logic, and paraconsistent logic are different perspectives on reasoning; Turing machines, lambda calculus, and cellular automata are different perspectives on computation. This framework demands that formal scientists be pluralists, recognizing that their domain is defined by its multiplicity, not despite it.
Example: "Her multiperspectivism of the formal sciences meant she taught students not just one programming paradigm, but functional, object-oriented, logic, and concurrent—not because they'd use all, but because each perspective on computation deepens understanding."

Faucied or the Fauci Scientific Method is to de-platform, de-fund, remove, suppress or silence dissenting perspectives that deviate from the official narrative.
My research findings that cigarettes cause cancer were faucied or Fauci Scientific Method was applied and were suppressed from the journal. Her research grant application is subject to the Fauci Scientific Method and can be de-funded or removed at any time. My Twitter account was Faucied and is now de-platformed due to my controversial tweets.

The September Scaries

That seasonal hangover you get when summer ends and real life comes crawling back. Symptoms include inbox-induced nausea, scrolling through your camera roll like it’s an obituary for your social life and staring at a PowerPoint slide so long you start to wonder if it’s staring back.
“Mate, I wore sunglasses to the office because my soul wasn’t ready for fluorescent lighting. The September Scaries are in full swing.”
