Starting from the premise that all facts are consistent with each =
other, I=20
believe it is possible to derive the path integral formulation of =
quantum=20
mechanics. This would give us physics from logic alone.
=20
The consistency of all facts requires that it is never the case that =
any=20
fact in reality will ever prove false any other fact in reality. This =
is=20
written in logic as ~(p=3D>~q). But this is logically equivalent to =
p*q, where=20
~ is negation, =3D> is material implication, and * is conjunction, and =
p and q=20
are proposition representing facts that either exist or not. So the=20
consistency of all facts means that reality is a conjunction of all =
facts,=20
written a*b*c*d*e*....
But a conjunction implies that each fact proves the other,
p*q =3D> (p=3D>q)*(q=3D>p).
And this means that the conjunction of reality produces an implication =
between every fact in reality. Such a conjunction between all facts =
can be=20
rearranged into paths, where each path is a series of implication with =
the=20
conclusion of one implication being the premise of the next, forming a =
path=20
from a starting state to a final state.
=20
Now in a sample space the probability of a conjunction of events is =
the=20
multiplication of the probability of each event. Conjunction maps to=20
multiplication. Therefore, since there is two implications for each=20
multiplication, implication, =3D>, maps to the square root of a =
probability,=20
in other words, a probability amplitude.
=20
Implication mapping to a square root introduce complex numbers; each=20
implication is a complex number in general. Each complex number will =
have a=20
phase expressed as the exponential of an imaginary number. A =
conjunction of=20
many implications from start to finish of one path will map to =
exponential=20
of an imaginary sum. Disjunction of all the possible paths will map to =
a sum=20
of an exponential of an imaginary sum. If the states differ only=20
differentially, this becomes a path integral formulation.

I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.=20
Three simple observations:=20
1) Is a torus bipolar? If it is, p=3D>~q.

2) Which way does direct current flow, (+ve to -ve) or (-ve to +ve)?
(Whichever you pick, I'll prove you wrong.)
3) What does "differ differentially" mean?
