Klima at Fordham if you also want to consider joining SMLM:
"The Society for Medieval Logic and
Metaphysics (SMLM) is a network of scholars founded with
the aim of fostering collaboration and research on recovering
profound metaphysical insights of medieval thinkers while we
reflect on the logical framework in which those insights were
articulated, given the paradigmatic differences between medieval
and modern logical theories." [Minor edits for brevity.
Also consider that medieval logic is essentially classical and
disdains our own adherence to quantum logic. Aristotle's syllogistic
'laws' both deny and outlaw quantum logic.
To consider this more clearly see our Fractal Connection

Sorry this is late! As you will see, there is much here. As
I said, "...waiting is..."
Reader, please view this effort as working papers in progress.
The material covered by this review is so extensive that we see
no end to possibilities for new nexuses. Potential for you, here,
is enormous. Your reviewer sees no limit to innovations which
may arise from understanding fundamental issues discussed herein.
Enjoy, and watch for continuing changes and extensions to our
work here.
Recent revisions (one current)
marked by, 
, herein. Suggested
reading order marked by, 
, below. That suggestion is crucial, since each reading quantum~fractally,
gn¤stically, ~recursively, and ~holographically EIMA interrelates (
) all others
suggested in terms of quantized omnivalent understandings. Doug - 1Feb2010. If you are new to Quantonics,
pay attention to our suggestion! Due diligence now will save you
months of research labor in futurings. Especially those of you
who are integrating Quantonics material into textbooks, classroom
syllabi, theses, new layout storybooks, science fiction novels
and movies (e.g., Caprica and Mindwalk), and product plans.

"And he knew!
He knew the Quality he talked about lay outside the mythos...He
knew that to understand Quality
he would have to leave the mythos."
Robert M. Pirsig, p. 315/373, ZMM, Bantam
paper.

"In all of the Oriental religions great value is
placed on the Sanskrit doctrine of Tat tvam asi, 'Thou art that,'
which asserts that everything you think
you are
and everything you think you perceive are undivided.
To realize fully this lack of division is to become enlightened.
"Logic presumes a separation of subject
from object [i.e, excluded-middle]; therefore logic is
not final wisdom."
(Here, in these two paragraph fragments,
Pirsig acknowledges his understanding
of a quantum included~middle,
and then he exposes
classical logic's absolute and unyielding
denial of it.
Doug - 5Oct2002.)
Robert M. Pirsig, p. 126/373, ZMM, Bantam
paper.
