Description
Inconsistent Geometry explores the development of inconsistent mathematics and its application to geometry. This book builds upon the discovery of paraconsistent logic and inconsistent mathematical structures, which were previously seen as arbitrary constraints. The author aims to derive models for paraconsistent logics using geometrical structures and address the concept of "impossible pictures" by providing a rigorous explanation of how they can be impossible yet classifiable into several basic types. The book includes a gallery of previously unseen coloured images that illustrate the possibilities available in representing impossible geometrical shapes. This work is of interest to logicians, mathematicians, philosophers, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and artists interested in impossible images. It offers a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics, logic, and visual representation.
