Symbol for {direction}:

Generalised linkage connective

I use this often in Symbolic Thematic Theory, particularly after :-, read as 'applied to' The connective can be read as simply 'gives' rather than 'directs to,' as in the verbal interpretation of the symbolic statement (2) in 'Implication' Below.

Implication

When statement 1 implies statement 2, then the truth of statement 1 ensures the truth of statement 2. Statement 1 'leads to' or 'directs to' statement 2. This is an instance of
(1) (2). ® :-( ) /implication/ or {resolution} applied to {direction} gives ['directs to'] /implication/.

Material conditional

The material conditional 'directs to.' ® :-( ) / /

Teleological arguments

direct to the , 'telos' or end. In Aristotle, the telos of a process is its final cause.The Nicomachean Ethics begins (in the translation of Terence Irwin): 'Every craft and every line of inquiry, and likewise every action and decision, seems to seek some good; that is why some people were right to describe the good as what everything seeks. But the ends appear to differ; some are activities and others are products apart from the activities. Wherever there are ends apart from the actions, the products are by nature better than the activities.

Since there are many actions, crafts and sciences, the ends turn out to be many as well; for health is the end of medicine, a boat of boat building, victory of generalship, and wealth of household management.'

Trends

'tend to.' Antony O' Hear, 'Karl Popper: 'The historicist attempts to explain change by discovering a trend going through evolution or history as a whole, or through the history of each civilization. Popper's objection to this is that there is a sharp logical distinction between a trend and a law...Trends exist in nature and (perhaps) in society. Popper does not deny that it is possible to explain trends by showing that the presence of specific initial conditions would lead to developments of predictable sorts in physical systems. He concedes that evolution itself may provide us with an example.'

{direction} may be falsifiable, falsified, unfalsifiable or un-falsified (as yet).

Vectors and directed lines

Vectors, like scalars have magnitude, but only vectors 'direct to.' Directed lines have an orientation or direction distinguishable from an opposite orientation or direction. So, for two directed lines 1, 2
