=Mission Statement= Historically, orthodoxies are ideas accepted as facts; ideas such as the world is flat, or the sun revolves around the earth. My goal in joining Wikipedia is to show where I think orthodoxies still exist, to show how we can overcome these orthodoxies, and thereby, to show how we can become a better encyclopedia.

When using the word orthodoxy, it occurs to me I am describing one of Wikipedia's five pillars, namely the "the nuetral point of view". In fact the world is not perfectly round and we do not revolve perfectly around the sun. The knowledge is in knowing there is always variance between the two absolutes, and in knowing where and how we stand on this line of variance.

Many people are aware of binary logic, the yes, no, true, false, test of knowledge. Indeed, by the use of this logic we have built both the encyclopedia and the technological marvel of computing you see before you. I use something a little different, namely ternary logic, an encapsulated three variable logic of the form a=zØ2. This has great advantages over the binary form in seeing the truth, or should I say, variance in the truth. For example, you may accept the idea the world is round without question, but think again: As every student of the theory of relativity knows, the world can be flattened by incresing its speed, of by increasing our speed in relation to it. So the world could be flat, after all. The little packet of knowledge a=zØ2 carries an amazing amount of of knowledge. It is not a coincidence e=MC2 follows the same ternary logic pattern.
