Major Academic Contribution:The STRF theory, originating in 2012, was conceptually formulated in 2014, achieved critical breakthroughs by 2019, and reached substantial completion in 2022. This work establishes a more concise paradigm at the logical foundations of non-classical information and physics, with findings published asasingle-authored paper "Four Equivalent Relations between MCP and CP and Its Implication in Quantum and Information Theory".
The pioneering STRF theory creates a more concise paradigm distinct from the current academic mainstream at the foundation of non-classical information technology:
Rigorous science today must be reliable in three aspects:mathematical precision,experimental verifiability, and philosophical logic. Philosophical logic, in turn, must be reliable in three dimensions: syntax, semantics, and metaphysics. While the Modal Causal Propositional logic (MCP) attempts to provide a strict model for quantum information theory, it faces significant difficulties in syntax, semantics, and metaphysics. Based on the minimum guidance definition of hidden variables, four equivalences between MCP and Classical Propositional logic (CP) are established: MCP is CP incorporating strict syntactic hidden variables; modal formulas are classificatory clusters of CP formulas;andpossible worlds are CP formulas serving as valuation backgrounds! This provides, in principle, a rigorous and unified foundation for philosophical logic.
