The Truth Algorithm – Part XII: An Analytic Process. When we are presented with information that is claimed to be true, how do we respond? Do we 1) buy into it right away; 2) wait for more evidence; or 3) immediately begin an analysis to determine if in fact it is true? The Truth Algorithm allows us to activate #3 above without delay, utilizing an analytic process to help us in this endeavor.

The Truth Algorithm – Part IX: The Truth Algorithm Defined. In this episode, we begin to define the Truth Algorithm, because we can! We can because if reality is an objective fact, and truth is a key aspect of reality, then truth is an objective fact as well. And it can be measured. If truth can be measured, then it can be examined utilizing reason: in this case, algorithmic reasoning.
