Topic: True Q


  
  True Q - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
The Q Continuum was not happy with them living on Earth, and as a result, executed them and used a tornado as an excuse for their death.
Although Q's petulant and acerbic attitude did little to ingratiate himself to Amanda, he eventually convinced her to go with him to the Continuum to learn to use her newfound abilities.
Amanda's temptation to use the powers of the Q is reminiscent of William Riker's temptation to use the powers of the Q in the first season episode "Hide and Q".

  Vacuous truth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Informally, a logical statement is vacuously true (or trivially true) if it is true but doesn't provide any useful information; examples are statements of the form "anything that has property A must also have property B", where no entities with property A exist.
He went on to say that this led to the remarkable discovery that the Euler characteristic is one of the finitely additive "measures" treated in Hadwiger's theorem, so that "pure" mathematicians who attach importance to this kind of "vacuity" have the last laugh.
The main argument that all vacuously true statements are true is as follows: As explained in the article on logical conditionals, the axioms of propositional logic entail that if P is false, then P ⇒ Q is true.

 Direct and Indirect Proofs
q is true directly, you have to assume p is true and then prove q is true.
q is false only if p is true and q is false.
p is true (if this is difficult, you may rearrange p, q, and r, and then prove the first implies the second, the second implies the third, and the third implies the first).

Its converse is true: If in a triangle the square of one of the sides is equal to the sum of squares of the remaining two sides, the angle contained by those remaining sides is a right angle.
Because circle p is wholly within circle q, points outside of circle q ("Not q") must be outside of circle p ("Not p") as well.
q is equivalent to saying "p is necessary and sufficient for q." This is also equivalent to "q is necessary and sufficient for p." In writing out the proof of a "if, and only if" or, what is the same, "necessary and sufficient" statement, one proves the two implications: (1) If p then q.

The only case that this can be true is for P (Q to be false, and the only way this is possible is if either P or Q is false.
Because either P or Q might make the statement false, it might be the case that Q is false, thus allowing P to be true and (P to be false.
Q does not imply anything about P. P could be true or false.

 wo's weblog: Is "true" hyper-intensional?
is true" is an extensional or intensional context.
This suggestion isn't independent of the other obvious move, to reject the Tarski Schema: if "true" is not extensional, there are sentences P, Q such that P iff Q, and yet not: true(P) iff true(Q); hence not: (true(P) iff P) and (true(Q) iff Q).
And anyway, given that rejecting Tarski's schema also means rejecting the extensionality of "true" (and that intensionality, as opposed to hyper-intensionality, appears to be irrelevant here), we don't seem to have much of a choice.

Let P and Q be sentences which are true or false, but neither of them is both.
They know that "P and Q" is true only when both P and Q are true.
For it to be false, P is false or Q is false (possibly both are false, which fits our understanding of "or").

 Propositional Logic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
Propositional variables (whose value is TRUE or FALSE) and the propositional constants TRUE and FALSE are logical expressions.
Example: given the expression "(p AND q) OR r", we can describe the Boolean function that determines the value of the expression by considering all combinations of value assignments for p, q, and r.
If the expression has the value TRUE for all possible assignment values for the variables in the expression (that is, if the entire column for the expression in the truth table is TRUE), then the expression is a tautology.

If she proves to be a true Q, she is to be brought back to be with her own kind, whether she wants to or not.
Q insists it is time for Amanda to return home to the Continuum, but she refuses.
"True Q" is something of a counterpart to "Hide and Q" (Episode 11) where Q tempted Riker with the powers of the Q. This is a below average episode with Q (John de Lancie), mainly because Picard and the crew of the Enterprise are more spectators his endeavors this time around.

In other words, the reduction of (and # p # q) gives true if and only if both p and q are true.
It is easy to verify that definitions for the other boolean functions are consistent with their usual meaning.
Given a function "(and false)", zero applications of it to an argument true returns true, whereas applying the function one or several times to the true argument will give false.

 "If..., Then..."
Here P and Q are themselves sentences, each of which is true or false (but neither is both true and false).
Typically, the writer will skip to this combination (assume P is false and Q is true) and derive his contradiction from those two statements and then stops.
Now play the same trick with "if S then Q": for this "if...then" to be true with S being true, Q has to be true.
