A philosophical logic framework proposing that logical laws (
non‑contradiction, excluded middle,
etc.) are not universal and fixed but can be modified depending on the domain, context, or purpose of reasoning. It supports logical pluralism: different logics (classical, paraconsistent, intuitionistic) are
valid in different domains, and there is no single “true” logic. Malleable logic theory goes further to suggest that logics themselves can be redesigned – that we are not bound to any given
system. It is often used in computer science,
AI, and philosophy of logic to argue for flexible reasoning systems.
Malleable Logic Theory Example: “His malleable logic theory allowed the
AI to
switch from classical to paraconsistent logic when encountering contradictory sensor data – not a problem, just a context
shift.”
