Change Logic - The Self-Correcting Logic of Change Philosophy
Change Logic is proposed as a dynamic logic for analysing change-flow rather than static propositions alone. It extends Change Philosophy by organizing reality, cognition, valuation, and action into four interrelated flows: event-flow, cognitive-flow, value-flow, and action-flow. Event-flow records what is changing through entity-process, spatial-temporal order, and dynamical attributes. Cognitive-flow interprets these changes through symbols, pattern recognition, and development trends. Value-flow evaluates the relevance, direction, and consequence of change through value orientation and consciousness. Action-flow governs intervention, adjustment, withdrawal, and feedback through the logic of change-balance. The central claim of Change Logic is that many theoretical and practical errors arise when dynamic phenomena are forced into static conceptual forms. Traditional logic is powerful for formal consistency, but it often abstracts away timing, sequence, context, value conflict, feedback, and intervention. Change Logic therefore introduces a four-flow diagnostic method for identifying where a problem occurs: in the event itself, in cognition, in value interpretation, in action, or in the relation between these flows. This framework is applied to classical philosophical problems such as the is-ought gap, identity through change, the Gettier problem, induction, free will, and the problem of other minds, not by claiming final solutions, but by locating missing mediations, unclear objects, static assumptions, and broken logical transitions. Change Logic also provides a practical framework for artificial intelligence, wellbeing, organizational governance, education, public policy, and ethical intervention. Its governing boundary is Dao-De: the logic of sustainable continuity through convergence and divergence, and the operational alignment required for responsible action. By treating knowledge, value, and action as dynamic and revisable flows, Change Logic offers a structured method for reasoning under uncertainty, intervening with proportionality, withdrawing responsibly, and maintaining system confidence. It presents itself not as a replacement for formal logic, but as a complementary logic for a world in continuous change.
