20.4 The U-Category: The Universal Uncertainty
Principle as a Category
It is clear that the Einstein's Uncertainty Thesis (EUT) introduced in Sect. 5.2.7 (see
Statement 5.38) can serve as a convenient and veridical “logical template” (or a
category) to express the action of the Universal Uncertainty Principle (UUP) (Sect.
5.2.8 ) in many fields of inquiries. I therefore suggest here that the combination of
EUT and UUP can logically lead to the following general statement which may be
viewed as a category in the sense defined in Statements 15.51 and 15.52 and hence
referred to as the Uncertainty Category (U-category or UC):
As far as X refers to Y, X is not certain; and as far as X is certain, X does not refer to Y.
(20.4)
The examples of X and Y that have appeared in this topic are listed in Table 20.4 .
