Logic of the Unconscious


Symmetric logic basically equates an attribute or property with its contrary
or anti-property; in other words Yin = Yang. If there are two events, A and B,
symmetric logic allows you to say that if A is before B, then B is before A. The
order of the events is not important in symmetric logic. The operation of
the logic would therefore be described as ‘commutative.’ For example, in the
arithmetic operation of addition, 1 + 2 = 2 + 1. In other words, the operation
of addition is commutative. On the other hand, ‘1 — 2’ is not equal to ‘2 — 1.’
The operation of subtraction is not commutative — the order is important.
