Can you explain the concept of negative binding energy to me?

Hello,

Inspired by an earlier discussion I read, I searched the internet and found the following article: https://www.jyb-logic.org/papers/trivial-dialetheism.pdf
> "TRIVIAL DIALETHEISM AND THE LOGIC OF PARADOX" by Jean-Yves Beziau (DOI: 10.12775/LLP.2015.022)

It offers an interesting critique: "On the other hand, if we use the name 'true' for both designated values 1 and 1/2, then any atomic formula S is a dialetheia" (p. 2)

The core argument appears to be that, like when we assign a truth value of 1 or 0 to a propositional variabl, assigning the value 1/2 entails considering the represented sentence as both true and false.
Yet dialetheism does not commit to the assertion that all sentences are both true and false. Unlike classical truth tables that display every (actual) considered truth value, a three-valued logic would need to block the assignment of a third value to some propositional variables, because nobody considers them "true contradictions".

What do you think about it?

With kind regards,

Hello,

I can't help but think that, from the viewpoint of egoistical genes, there must be a perfect degree of "genetical Similarity between mating partner", i.e. recreation with genetical similar individuals.

During normal sexual reproduction, a single gene has around a 50% chance of being transmitted through genetic crossover. Of course, other effects to consider, such as satellite sequences (repeating DNA sequences) or non-autochromosomal transmission. However, overall, the probability remains approximately 50%.
These chances increase if the mating partner is more likely to carry the same genes. If the gene is present on both sides, we would rationally expect that the likelihood of transmitting it to the offspring becomes greater.

There is a trade-off between the costs of meeting too similar individuals, e.g. lower overall fitness, and mating with partners genetically too distant. In the latter case, genes have a smaller chance of being transmitted, while in the former, the offspring may not reproduce successfully themselves.

I wonder whether (a) I made a mistake in my reasoning, and (b) whether some impossibilities of reproduction between species are an effect of the process described above.

Thank you for your answers,

Endward26.
