A One‑Dimensional Universe —
There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now;
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.
— Walt Whitman • Leaves of Grass
Let †X† = {A} be a logical basis containing one boolean variable or
logical feature A. The basis element A may be regarded as a simple
proposition or coordinate projection A : B→B. Corresponding to the
basis †X† = {A} is the alphabet ‡X‡ = {“A”} which serves whenever we
need to make explicit mention of the symbols used in our formulas and
representations.
The space X = ⟨A⟩ = {¬A, A} of points (cells, vectors, interpretations)
has cardinality 2ⁿ = 2¹ = 2 and is isomorphic to B = {0, 1}. Moreover,
X may be identified with the set of singular propositions {s : B→B}.
The space of linear propositions X* = {ℓ : B→B} = {0, A} is algebraically
dual to X and also has cardinality 2. Here, “0” is interpreted as denoting
the constant function 0 : B→B, amounting to the linear proposition of rank 0,
while A is the linear proposition of rank 1.
Last but not least we have the positive propositions {p : B→B} = {A, 1}
of rank 1 and 0, respectively, where “1” is understood as denoting the
constant function 1 : B→B.
All told there are 2^{2ⁿ} = 2^{2¹} = 4 propositions in the universe
of discourse [†X†], collectively forming the set X↑ = {f : X→B} =
{0, ¬A, A, 1}.
