Tertium Non Datur
"Tertium Non Datur" is a Latin phrase meaning "no third option is given." It is a principle in classical logic that asserts for any proposition, it must either be true or false, with no middle ground. This concept is foundational in binary reasoning, where every statement is categorized as either one of two opposing truths.
This principle is often associated with the work of philosophers like Aristotle, who emphasized clear distinctions in logical arguments. In modern contexts, "Tertium Non Datur" underpins various fields, including mathematics and computer science, where binary systems rely on this dichotomy for problem-solving and decision-making.
