CoherentLogic

Coherent logic focuses on the overall consistency, clarity, and fit of arguments or belief systems, rather than just formal validity. 

Coherence in logic refers to the property of an argument or system of beliefs being internally consistent and free of contradictions. A coherent argument has premises and conclusions that fit together logically without contradicting each other.

Coherence is more about the overall consistency and fit of the parts, rather than strict logical entailment.

Coherence in logic and argumentation involves:

-No internal contradictions

-Logical connections between premises and conclusions

-Consistency across all parts of an argument or belief system

Clarity and intelligibility of expression: Assessing coherence often requires looking at the broader context and content of an argument, not just its formal logical structure. It can be somewhat subjective. In formal logic, coherence is sometimes equated with consistency - a set of statements is coherent if there is at least one interpretation under which all the statements are true.

Coherent logic has applications in artificial intelligence, where coherence is used as a measure of the quality of knowledge bases or belief systems.

 Logic is often nonlinear and multidimensional in today’s “VUCA” world. Coherent logic focuses on the overall consistency, clarity, and fit of arguments or belief systems, rather than just formal validity.
