Further Formalization Attempts of Matte Blanco's Theory, of Other Psychoanalytic Ideas, and Their Possible Applications to Informatics

Abstract

We deepen the relationships between main Matte Blanco's ideas and Aristotelian logic, calling into question also phallic logic, after having premised some discussions on the possible intertwinements between logic and psychoanalysis again. Hence, further possible applications to informatics are also considered. In particular, we have outlined possible, first formalizations attempts of the processes involved in the passage from primary to secondary process according to Freudian theory, from a logical viewpoint, with the involvement of phallus logic and the usual Boolean one. Besides this, we conclude the chapter making mention to the so-called affect logic according to Luc Ciompi, with its relationships with natural sciences, as well as to other formalizations of the main psychoanalytic concepts from the topological and quasi-topological perspective, so reaching to identify possible pathways leading to fuzzy logic and other domains of application.
