THE LOGICAL PARALLAX There is also the possibility that man himself may finally reach a stage of T-plurality intelligence. Yet for the time being, anyway, T-plurality calculi have no practical application in contrast to displacement calculi, which can be used in their three- valued form to define the logical parallax in human thinking, and which are useful in their many-valued forms to interpret the lower forms of intelli- gence in animals, plants, et cetera. But it should never be forgotten that, no matter how low or how high a certain intelligence level is, its essen- tial structure is two-valued Aristo- telian. This goes for the systems of T-plurality also. For an intelligence with the range F—-T” the reduction- values ““T”’ and “‘T’’ are no genuine values. They only indicate procedures by which the wider range of F—T” can be reduced to the requirements of the lower intelligence forms F-T and F-T’. 105 Here a final question is in order: Let it be assumed that there are no higher forms of individual intelligence in the world than that of the human race. Is there any other possiblity of applying logical calculi of T-plurality? Indeed, there seems to be at least one. The general structure of the universe can probably be described as a T- plurality-system. Everybody knows the biblical formula: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth... .” For the logician this statement is a mythological version of the semantically equivalent proposi- tion: the universe reflects for the human observer an intelligent pattern of a logical order that needs for its proper definition asystem of T-plurality.

INFREIORITWY COMPLEX An inferiority complex is a disturbance in the Sub-conscious Mind which manifests itself in Self-consciousness, lack of confidence, nervousness, depression, worry, weak will and habits, lack of enterprise, stammering, blushing, forget- fulness, sleeplessness, etc. These are symptoms of ‘something wrong’ within your personality which you can put right—a ‘ disturbance centre’ in Subconscious- ness which sends out powerful negative impulses overcoming and paralysing your positive impulses, denying you the pleasures of achievement and the joy of living. You cannot control these impulses but you can remove them altogether by eradicating from your Sub-conscious Mind the trouble from which they spring.
