class

Read a random definition: mutual testament

A quick definition of class:

A class is a group of people or things that have something in common. It could be something like their age, their job, or something that happened to them. In a legal sense, a class means all the people who are in the same situation or have the same rights. For example, a class of people who were hurt in the same accident might join together to sue the person responsible.

A more thorough explanation:

A class is a group of people or things that share one or more common characteristics. In a legal context, a class refers to all the people who are in the same category, have the same rights, or have suffered from the same incident.

  • A class of students in a school can be defined by their grade level or subject.
  • A class of cars can be defined by their make or model.
  • A class of workers can be defined by their job title or department.
  • A class of people who have been affected by a natural disaster can be defined by their location or type of damage.
  • A class of people who have been injured in a car accident can be defined by the type of injury or the circumstances of the accident.

These examples illustrate how a class can be defined by a common characteristic or experience. In each case, the members of the class share something in common that distinguishes them from other groups.

okay well imagine schrodinger really wants to hang out with his cat, then answer my question
16:06
ya I'd still wanna hear if if the he'd prefer the uncertainty over knowing it died
Mostlylegal
16:07
either way he doesnt get to play with his cat
16:08
yeah true
But the non-observable quantum state of uncertainty implies that both possibilities are simultaneously true
So you have been Accepted and Denied
Use that uno-reverse on them
16:09
logical determinism says otherwise
16:10
but you know that already with your username

you should send adcoms a thank you for the admission and also a request for why they rejected you to coincide with your dichotomic understanding of possibilities then

weirdest thing just happened to me
16:16
i went to hofstra admitted student day and they booked hotel rooms for us and I didn't go to the hotel cuz I had a long drive and wanted to avoid Monday traffic
16:17
and someone from admission's just called me to ask why I didn't go and was like well we still had to pay for you
Let’s assume A(acceptance), R(rejection), D(decision). Although, according to logical determinism, the future event D may have a set truth value of A^R, the function of ^(or) allows for uncertainty because the truth value of a future event D being fixed as A^R (true or false) is just to say ~(~A^~R)—otherwise put as logical determinism can eat me
16:17
i was just like i'm sorry! i wasn't feeling well and she seemed pissed
16:18
weird vibe

@CaliforniaPhilosopher: your translation from language to logic was close, the inclusion of the word "May" actually throws it off. it would actually be best expressed A^R>D. Logical determinism would put the true or false principle in this case on D rather than R or A. A similar confusion would be since A>~R would be ~A>R. this isnt logical since A and R or not the only inputs
