non-Aristotelian logic

Non-Aristotelian logic refers to logical systems that go beyond traditional Aristotelian logic, which focuses on clear, binary categories like true or false. These alternative logics accommodate situations where such binaries don't fit well—like vague concepts or complex reasoning—by allowing ideas to be more fluid or adjustable. They are used in fields like quantum physics and philosophy to better model reality where traditional logic may be too limited. Essentially, non-Aristotelian logic expands our tools for understanding and reasoning about complex, uncertain, or contradictory information.
