Explores how anti-GILE instances reveal ontological holes in moral philosophy, suggesting new perspectives on truth.
This paper formalizes the insight that anti-GILE instances represent ontological holes rather than positive entities. Just as contradictions lack existential reality (one cannot point to a real contradiction), evil lacks moral reality (it is the absence of Goodness, not a positive moral entity). This leads to a novel "Dimensional Trade" principle where the four dimensions of truth—Existence (E), Morality (G), Conscious Meaning (I), and Aesthetics (L)—can appear to exchange roles in limiting cases.
