The Logic of Double-Talk

The Logic of DOUBLE TALK
With Reversals

It is possible to define types of a general category of speech known colloquially as "double talk". The following are remarks on the logical structure and relations of some of these types.

Types: informal

-saying one thing, intending another
-talking the talk, not walking the walk
-hypocrisy: condemning another for what is the accuser is guilty.
-'talking with forked tongue'
- 'talking out of both sides of his mouth'

Formal - word repetition, with grammar
word / / word (for; is a; )
sign / / sign (for, is a)
sentences / / sentences (about, for)
names / / names (of)
predicate / / predicates (of)




Examples: McCain visuals (tokens) -- how he looks; (stubby arms, broken, baggy, pathetic, over his head

vrs. McCain textuals -- content of his actual communications. (predicated on him, in the act of speking, as "war hero", belieing the contradictory visuals.)

-The brain assimilates the double-impulse it gets from what it cognizes (perceives) as the same thing, and supplies language that predicates on "McCain" as a union-of opposites. Thus, in sentences, "McCain*" stands for one "thing", a subject of reference, value of the variable '..x...' in ',,,fx...'.

However, it*, the sign-use, can be 'flipped over' on one side or another, depending on whether the visuals or the audials are processed through consciousness. This corresponds roughly to the whether hippocampal or amygdalan memory determines the content of consciousness under McCain*. Something (close to 'free will' with 'interest').

One determining factor is a judgemental predicate, e.g., "Mc
Cain is a good guy". This goes with "war hero", and the opposites are further disambiguated along the lines of what fits the affirmation.

The further predicates applied to McCain will align with what "feels right", and the facts about the man 'cherry picked' to align with the feeling.

Thus, it is essential to disambiguate the visuals as "war hero", as "worthy suffering sacrifice", vrs broken, weak, old, nasty nerd; these, then, "square' with "McCain is a good guy". Together with the slogan "For Republicans, its character that counts", this puts him out there as the "values candidate" and cooks the leftist liberal multicult's goose.
