((What if he is asked to resolve a matter such as Hempel's Raven, The Ship of Theseus or a paradox? Is there truth within "This statement is false"?))((As the truth would blow out a mere mortal's mind, he would calmly decline to prove the matter....or leave it to the Trickster.))
((he managed to get on the ship just by inviting them to see starwars? god damnit, why can't IRL be this easy?))((Maria's one of the biggest geeks ever. And she may/may not have a crush on Kyle. :3))
Kyle smiles as well. Presumably they end up proposing the stay at home and watch Star Wars sorta kinda date idea to Maria."Sure, why not?"
((So if he were to discern the same two propositions at a later time, their truthfulness may have changed?))((*shrug*))
((How truthful is the absolute truth anyway? Would he discern that phenomena X occurs because of reason Y to be true, or would he instead declare that phenomena X occurs because setting creator Z says so, is in fact true? Or is what I have presented a mere false dichotomy and both will be declared true/false?))((Whichever one is more convenient at the time.))
((Cue half the knowledge pool being incomprehensible ramblings of madmen who stumbled across the truth((Most likely.))))
Aiden hears Haruka move and follows behind her as she is I think the only person he's talked to for more than three sentences.... (That sounds terrible)((HARUKAxAIDEN / HARUKAxMAO OTP(s) ))
((So if the accepted reasoning contradicts it he would know it is false? What if it is true and the accepted reasoning is false whilst there is nothing to vindicate the former or refute the latter?))((Former: He would.
((What if the theory had the correct results but the incorrect reasoning? Is it "absolute truth" or "truth as we know it"?))((Truth as you know it. Corvus would know it was lies, but he wouldn't be able to say what the real reason was unless some other form of non-godly creature figures it out.))
((So if he looked at a theory, would he be able to discern the parts of it that are the absolute truth and the parts of it that are not? For example, if say, the non-deterministic phenomena of quantum physics had a yet to be to found basis that is entirely deterministic, would he know that the effects are the absolute truth but the true randomness of it is not?))((He wouldn't know anything they didn't already, but apart from that, he would know which was true and which was complete lies.))
