The professed mission of this disaffiliated generation is to find a new way of life which they can express in poetry and fiction, but what they produce is unfortunately disordered, nourished solely on the hysteria of negation.

Thus the negation of the axiom of choice states that there exists a set of nonempty sets which has no choice function.

Assuming ZF is consistent, Kurt Gödel showed that the negation of the axiom of choice is not a theorem of ZF by constructing an inner model ( the constructible universe ) which satisfies ZFC and thus showing that ZFC is consistent.

Assuming ZF is consistent, Paul Cohen employed the technique of forcing, developed for this purpose, to show that the axiom of choice itself is not a theorem of ZF by constructing a much more complex model which satisfies ZF ¬ C ( ZF with the negation of AC added as axiom ) and thus showing that ZF ¬ C is consistent.

A generalization of the class of Horn formulae is that of renamable-Horn formulae, which is the set of formulae that can be placed in Horn form by replacing some variables with their respective negation.

Lionel Curtis, writing in the imperialist journal The Round Table, wrote: " If the British Commonwealth can only be preserved by such means, it would become a negation of the principle for which it has stood ".

In the case of n't, the negation can also be emphasized by stressing the word to which the clitic is attached:

It is deduced from the model existence theorem as follows: if there is no formal proof of a formula then adding its negation to the axioms gives a consisten theory, which has thus a model, so that the formula is not a semantic consequence of the initial theory.

It is the responsibility of the other improvisers to accept the offers that their fellow performers make ; to not do so is known as blocking, negation, or denial, which usually prevents the scene from developing.

His statement, regarded as a logical principle purely and apart from material facts, does not therefore amount to more than that of Aristotle, which deals simply with the significance of negation.

Aristotle's assertion that "... it will not be possible to be and not to be the same thing ", which would be written in propositional logic as ¬ ( P ∧ ¬ P ), is a statement modern logicians could call the law of excluded middle ( P ∨ ¬ P ), as distribution of the negation of Aristotle's assertion makes them equivalent, regardless that the former claims that no statement is both true and false, while the latter requires that any statement is either true or false.

We write to represent the negation of, which can be thought of as the denial of.

::"... the bifurcation of the simple ; it is the doubling which sets up opposition, and then again the negation of this indifferent diversity and of its anti-thesis " ( Preface, pgph.

Much constructive mathematics uses intuitionistic logic, which is essentially classical logic without the law of the excluded middle which states that for any proposition, either that proposition is true, or its negation is.

In set theory also we have the negation operation of the complement which obeys this property: a set A and a set ( A < sup > C </ sup >)< sup > C </ sup > ( where A < sup > C </ sup > represents the complement of A ) are the same.

The built-in Prolog predicate provides negation as failure, which allows for non-monotonic reasoning.

* consistent: There is no statement in Presburger arithmetic which can be deduced from the axioms such that its negation can also be deduced.

In Boolean functions and propositional calculus, the Sheffer stroke, named after Henry M. Sheffer, written "|" ( see vertical bar, not to be confused with "||" which is often used to represent disjunction ), " Dpq ", or "↑", denotes a logical operation that is equivalent to the negation of the conjunction operation, expressed in ordinary language as " not both ".

There is no verb " to be " as such, but the word la ' ós, which translates as " not to be ", is used for negation:

Another important principle for Hegel is the negation of the negation, which he also terms Aufhebung ( sublation ): Something is only what it is in its relation to another, but by the negation of the negation this something incorporates the other into itself.

In his book The Silence of God: the Answer of the Buddha, Raimundo Panikkar analyzes the fourteen unanswerable questions in the context of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and comes to the conclusion that the Buddha's position can best be described as " transcendental apophaticism ," i. e., a position in which the transcendent ( in this case, nirvana ), is defined through negation.

This was not due to a negation of the relationship between the two philosophers, however, but rather was the result of a suggested censorship by Heidegger's publisher who feared that the book might otherwise be banned by the Nazi regime.

As it was designed to be the simplest possible stored-program computer, the only arithmetic operations implemented in hardware were subtraction and negation ; other arithmetic operations were implemented in software.

Philosopher George Bernard Shaw initially had flirtations with individualist anarchism before coming to the conclusion that it was " the negation of socialism, and is, in fact, unsocialism carried as near to its logical conclusion as any sane man dare carry it.

It even eludes the idea a lot more even to assume the concept of " nothing " or negation was created, therefore it is seemingly impossible to conceive such a notion where it draws down to a paradox.

It is, indeed, not too much to say that his conception of Liberalism was the negation of Socialism.

Later this capability was given the misleading name " negation as failure " because for a goal < tt > G </ tt > it was possible to say: " if attempting to achieve < tt > G </ tt > exhaustively fails then assert < tt >( Not G )</ tt >.

Erickson thus used this as the basis for suggestions that deliberately played on negation and tonally marked the important wording, to provide that whatever the client did, it was beneficial: " You don't have to go into a trance, so you can easily wonder about what you notice no faster than you feel ready to become aware that your hand is slowly rising ....."

Atherton's finest performances came when he was " against the wall ", such as his monumental 185 not out in 643 minutes to salvage a draw against South Africa, and his negation of an outstanding Allan Donald onslaught in 1998, and that this prompted Steve Waugh to dub him " The Cockroach " ( being very hard to stamp out ).

In many cases the original sense of the new negative particle is not negative per se ( thus in French pas " step ", originally " not a step " = " not a bit "), but in Germanic languages such as English and German the intermediate stage was a case of double negation, as the current negatives not and nicht in these languages originally meant " nothing ": e. g. Old English ic ne seah " I didn't see " >> Middle English I ne saugh nawiht, lit.

A similar development to a circumfix from double negation can be seen in non-Indo-European languages, too: for example, in Maltese, kiel " he ate " is negated as ma kielx " he didn't eat ", where the verb is preceded by a negative particle ma-" not " and followed by the particle-x, which was originally a shortened form of xejn " nothing "-thus, " he didn't eat nothing ".
