Logical Closed Meta-Systems

A self-contained, hierarchical framework for logic where the rules for evaluating validity, the allowed forms of inference, and even the definitions of truth are fixed and internally derived. It does not permit external evidence, new empirical data, or alternative rational frameworks to alter its core axioms. Mathematics, as traditionally conceived, is a logical closed meta-system; its truths are derived from its axioms, not from observation of the world.

Logical Closed Meta-Systems Example: Euclidean geometry is a Logical Closed Meta-System. Starting with its five postulates, it builds an entire, consistent universe of theorems about points, lines, and planes. No measurement of a physical "line" in the real world (which is made of atoms) can invalidate the Pythagorean theorem within the system. The system is sealed from empirical contradiction.

Logical Open Meta-Systems

A framework for reasoning that is permeable to external input, context, and revision. Its rules of inference or standards of evidence can be updated based on new information, practical outcomes, or the integration of other knowledge systems. Most real-world reasoning, including legal reasoning, medical diagnosis, and engineering, operates within logical open meta-systems, where formal logic must interface with messy, contingent facts and shifting goals.

Logical Open Meta-Systems Example: A courtroom's judicial process is a Logical Open Meta-System. It has formal rules of evidence and procedure (a closed subsystem), but it must admit external, empirical facts (forensic reports, witness testimony), and its ultimate standard—"proof beyond a reasonable doubt"—is a pragmatic, context-sensitive judgment call, not a purely logical deduction.

Trip Metal

Trip Metal is a term that was conceived by John Olson of the band Wolf Eyes to categorize the band’s sound which originated in a meme that helped popularize the term. The genre covers a wide variety of what once constituted the noise music scene. An annual Trip Metal Fest, curated by the members of Wolf Eyes, showcases many of the acts that fall under the genre which takes place in Detroit and in recent years has spread to other cities in the Midwest.

John Olsen (sic) christened the phrase when he tweeted a photo of a wolf—fangs bared—with a declaration that his band embodied "Trip Metal."—ostensibly to highlight both the psychedelia and the aggression of his band's sound. -via Thump

Metaegoism

Egoism strictly defined is the habit of valuing everything only in reference to one's personal interest. It’s a kind of selfishness and it’s opposite is altruism.

Metaegoism takes this a step further and finds a way to enshrine one’s egoism thus formalizing it. A good example of this would be to get your Urban Dictionary contributor’s name as an Urban Dictionary entry.

Jus sayin’.

In an act of total metaegoism, Mindhunter the Profiler added his Urban Dictionary contributor’s name to the Urban Dictionary. That’s some meta fo’ yo’ ass!!!!!
