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.

Meta-Logical Open Systems

A reflective, evolving framework for understanding the nature, foundations, and plurality of logic itself. It acknowledges that different logical systems (classical, fuzzy, paraconsistent, intuitionistic) may be useful for different domains or problems. It is open to revising its understanding of what logic is based on insights from cognitive science, computer science, and philosophy. It treats logic not as a singular, sacred monolith, but as a toolkit of reasoning styles.

Meta-Logical Open Systems Example: The modern field of philosophical logic, which compares classical logic to non-classical logics suitable for handling vagueness, paradoxes, or quantum phenomena, operates as a Meta-Logical Open System. It doesn't seek the "One True Logic," but explores a landscape of possible logics, open to the idea that our reasoning tools must adapt to the complexities of the world and mind.

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
