    Key Terms

    Intuitionist logic(as the main subject of the statement)
    A system of logic that rejects the idea that every statement must be either true or false—instead, a statement is only considered true if we can actually construct or prove it, not just assume it exists.
    Law of the Excluded Middle(as used in logic)
    A basic logical rule stating that something must be either true or false—there's no middle ground or third option.
    Process-based domains(as used in metaphysics)
    Areas of study that focus on things that are constantly changing or evolving rather than staying fixed and stable.
    Vague(describing laws and language)
    Unclear or fuzzy around the edges—words like 'tall' or 'bald' don't have a precise cutoff point where something definitely is or isn't that thing.
    paraconsistent logic
