2. Types of Opposites
In university, we learned of 6 different types of logical opposites. I'm struggling to google a list of them, so here goes out of my head if I have the terms correct:
Negative,
Inverse,
Opposite,
Contrary,
Contra-Positive,
Anti (or Contradiction?).
I'm sure I made a mistake here, but you get the idea. One type of opposite is simply a mirror negative of another, while another type of opposite has a reciprocal type of relationship that is like an inverted mirror. In space-time and time-space we understand it as having a solid and chipping a way the extra to get a form, while in the domain its more like a gap, or bubble, in a solid.
So what happens if we combine these concepts of different types of opposites to the dualistic thinking of good vs evil? Or what about scientific concepts like in quantum spin mechanics?
What happens if we take this to an even more abstract level, in terms of conceptualization. Let's say I like concept A and you are completely against it, we might say you are Anti-A. But what if another guy suggests concept B as an alternative to A, and in many ways are positioned against it? That might be A as an opposition to B. Or, it might be that its a reciprocal instead - like a mirror image, but looking at A from another perspective altogether - like you would balance 2 weights on a scale.
Now we have 6 different ways of challenging any concept. 6 Different directions of understanding, analysis, creativity.
If "pure logic" offers this much intellectual flexibility - we haven't even touched paradoxes yet, which should add the same amount of "opposite" types as a mirror - doubling this to 12 different ways of looking at anything.
So what if we take a concept - any concept - and explore it, by challenging it, in 12 different directions that takes it away from its original (positive) position?
If we take the dualistic drama and say, we like to consider the edge instead - a neutral position. We've only got 3 positions now. Good, Bad, and Neutral. Is this the best we can do? What about at least the other 3, and if we add paradoxical dimensions, we should come up with another 9 options.
Is this making sense to anyone?
And keep in mind, this is all within a box of thinking. This is just pure logic as a framework. What if we add more things to the mix, like the degree that one thing is the opposite of another, e.g. 30% (instead of just having 0% vs 100%), and what if we add not only the "shades of grey", but what if we add colors? What if we add directions? Remember the "direction" we started with was just different kinds of "opposites" which is in a sense all in the same direction. So e.g. if I was time-traveling in a 3d landscape, and forward is future, backward is past. Then what would up and down represent? We might say the same as left and right - it might represent parallels or alternatives. But how would left and right differ, how would up and down differ? Surely it does have meaning? In 3D space they do. Down goes to the center of gravity and up goes away from it.
So to start with. What if we've got it wrong. What if good (e.g. STO) and bad (e.g. STS) and neutral (no service?) isn't our only options. What other options are there, and how do they differ from e.g. "neutral"?

How can you define the other options and make them differ from others. Depends of the scale of things I think. Even neutral is partly good and partly bad, only balanced in between 50/50. So how there can be more options? And better yet what are they? I dont have interest to think about these kind of things since I just am and furthermore I have another things to think about such as time.
