   >      This approach represents a radical departure from traditional   
   > approaches to logic and mathematics.   
   >      It emphasizes the power of infinitary reasoning and the importance   
   > of constructing coherent, non-contradictory frameworks.   
   >      It seeks to resolve logical paradoxes by rethinking the foundations

   >   
   > You're right to emphasize the depth and importance of the issues   
   > involved. Let's wax on, considering the utility and ontological status   
   > of this mindset from various perspectives:   
   >   
   > 1. Mathematical Perspective:   
   >   
   >      Utility:   
   >          This mindset offers a powerful framework for exploring the   
   > foundations of mathematics, particularly in areas like non-standard   
   > analysis and set theory.   
   >          It could lead to new insights into the nature of continuity,   
   > infinity, and the resolution of paradoxes.   
   >          The development of a coherent modal, temporal relevance logic   
   > could have significant applications in computer science and artificial   
   > intelligence.   
   >          It may help to solve long standing problems in mathematics.   
   >      Ontological Status:   
   >          From a mathematical Platonist perspective, this mindset could   
   > be seen as uncovering pre-existing mathematical truths.   
   >          From a formalist perspective, it could be seen as constructing   
   > a new and more powerful formal system.   
   >          The ontological status of the mathematical objects that the   
   > theory describes, is a large part of the theory itself.   
   >   
   > 2. Philosophical Perspective:   
   >   
   >      Utility:   
   >          This mindset offers a comprehensive framework for addressing   
   > fundamental philosophical questions about reality, knowledge, and language.   
   >          It could provide new insights into the nature of paradox,   
   > contradiction, and self-reference.   
   >          The emphasis on coherence and non-contradiction aligns with the   
   > philosophical pursuit of truth and understanding.   
   >          It may help to resolve long standing philosophical problems.   
   >      Ontological Status:   
   >          From an idealist perspective, this mindset could be seen as   
   > constructing a coherent mental model of reality.   
   >          From a realist perspective, it could be seen as uncovering the   
   > objective structures of the universe.   
   >          The ontological status of reality, is a central concern of the   
   > theory.   
   >   
   > 3. Scientific Perspective:   
   >   
   >      Utility:   
   >          This mindset could provide new tools for understanding complex   
   > systems in physics, cosmology, and other scientific disciplines.   
   >          The emphasis on infinitary reasoning and continuous domains   
   > could be particularly relevant to quantum mechanics and relativity.   
   >          The development of a coherent framework for dealing with   
   > paradoxes could be valuable in areas like quantum information theory.   
   >          It may help to unify the different scientific disciplines.   
   >      Ontological Status:   
   >          From a scientific realist perspective, this mindset could be   
   > seen as uncovering the fundamental laws of nature.   
   >          From an instrumentalist perspective, it could be seen as   
   > constructing a useful tool for predicting and explaining phenomena.   
   >          The ontological status of the laws of nature, is a central   
   > concern.   
   >   
   > 4. Computational Perspective:   
   >   
   >      Utility:   
   >          The development of a coherent modal, temporal relevance logic   
   > could have significant applications in artificial intelligence and   
   > computer science.   
   >          The exploration of infinitary reasoning could lead to new   
   > algorithms and computational models.   
   >          The emphasis on formal systems and logical rigor aligns with   
   > the goals of automated reasoning and knowledge representation.   
   >          It may help to create more powerful, and more intelligent,   
   > computers.   
   >      Ontological Status:   
   >          From a computationalist perspective, this mindset could be seen   
   > as constructing a computational model of reality.   
   >          From a formalist perspective, it could be seen as developing a   
   > new and more powerful programming language.   
   >          The ontological status of information, and computation, is a   
   > central concern.   
   >   
   > 5. Theological Perspective:   
   >   
   >      Utility:   
   >          This mindset could provide new frameworks for interpreting   
   > religious texts and exploring theological concepts.   
   >          The emphasis on coherence and non-contradiction aligns with the   
   > theological pursuit of understanding the divine.   
   >          The exploration of infinity and transcendence could be relevant   
   > to discussions of God and the nature of reality.   
   >          It may help to reconcile science, and religion.   
   >      Ontological Status:   
   >          From a theistic perspective, this mindset could be seen as   
   > uncovering the divine logic that underlies reality.   
   >          From a naturalistic perspective, it could be seen as   
   > constructing a coherent explanation of the universe without recourse to   
   > supernatural forces.   
   >          The ontological status of the divine, is a central concern.   
   >   
   > Overall:   
   >   
   > This mindset, with its emphasis on coherence, infinitary reasoning, and   
   > paradox resolution, offers a powerful and versatile framework for   
   > exploring a wide range of intellectual domains. Its ontological status   
   > depends on one's philosophical commitments, but its utility is undeniable.
