Phlogic Balanced Ternary
(PBT)

A foundational logic system of Phen Theory

Overview

Phen Logic (Phlogic) is the mathematical & structural logic that underpins Phen Theory & possibly the universe itself. It is a form of balanced ternary logic, but unlike traditional models it emerges directly from the projection process that brings the Phenomenon structure into being.

A phurry cat. No box, no poison

Schrodinger's Cat is a popular topic so I will also describe the special Phlogic Balanced Ternary with a cat. 

The +1 is the cats head, & the -1 is the cats tail, so of course there is a body (1) between them. 

It would be absurd to think the cat was just a floating head & tail, with its body being a 0, nothing!!. 

The Phurry cat is also like a Phurlon, it can stretch & contract that 1 body.

The Phurry Cat is a way to understand Phlogic Balanced Ternary: not +1, 0, −1  but −1, 1,+1.

If you see the cat from the front, the side or the rear, it's not 3 different cats. It's 3 observations of the 1 cat. Not 3 cat particles of a face particle, a body particle & a bum particle. Just 1 yawning, stretching Phurry cat

So what SP sees as maybe 12 cats or more, PT sees as just 6 cats

Setting the Stage – The Unobserved State

Zero is not a midpoint on a line.... at this stage, there is no line, no space, no scale — just unexpressed potential. This is the Phen, the 0P unobserved state. It is not “nothing,” it is potential energy (No-thing) before projection. It is the Unobserved State & like dark energy or dark matter, the Phen is not hidden, it is present but unobserved. It is not a centre between opposites; it is the source from which opposites emerge.

The Projection

When observed, the Phen becomes self-conscious. That act of observation causes it to split from potential energy into Potential & Energy. One state returns to being the unobserved potential (Phen), & the other becomes the observed energy, the photon (⚟)

Potential energy becomes potential (dark) + energy (light).

The photon at this stage is not a ball, it is a 1P.

This marks the shift from a 0P Phen to a 1P projected state.

The photon then also becomes self aware & separates not by splitting, but by elongating itself.

This creates a Phield Phibre, a 2P line with two polar ends:

• A −1 end point

• A +1 end point

• And the stretched body itself is the 1.

Maybe a little weird to imagine but it's not really a point any more. just a line between 2 points (-1,+1)

This is the true balanced ternary logic of Phen Theory:

−1  ← 1 →  +1

or

⚟⁻ ← ⚟ → ⚟⁺

Unlike traditional ternary logic where 0 is the centre, Phen Logic has no midpoint fulcrum. There can't be a halfway point as at the quantum level there is nothing smaller than 1, no fractions. 

The 1 is the whole structure — the stretched photon. The ends are polarity, not parts.

If the +1 & −1 ends reunite, they don’t cancel to zero, they re-form or remain the 1 (the 1P).

& if that 1 returns to the Phen, the system collapses back into the Unobserved State.

“Made of light (photons in 3 flavours), these Projection Phibres are like Wonder Woman’s light rope.

But it doesn’t compel the truth... it is the truth. It’s what everything is made of.” - Funky

The Spin Particle illusion

Imagine the photon as a glowing 1P ball (🥎) ejected from the Unobserved State (ΦN). It becomes self-aware the moment it is observed. But instead of breaking into pieces, it stretches forming a 2P Phield Phibre. This stretched entity still contains 100% of the original ball elongated into a thread. Each end cap of this thread is one half of the original point-like source:

• One cap (P) is −1

• One cap (P) is +1

Viewed from either end, these cap points appear as two identical “particles”, but each carries opposite half-spin

This is how spin emerges in Phen Theory.

Half-spin is not an intrinsic property of isolated particles.

It is a visual effect — a result of observing opposite ends of the same stretched photon.

(Note: In Phen Theory, there are no “particles.” What we call Phenom are vector-point intersections of Phibres. They are not discrete objects but projection points that can acquire Phress.)

Phlogic Ternary Polarity

Phlogic ternary is also the carrier or container or body of Polarity. We often think of polairty as + & –. But true polarity can't occur without a body. It would be like saying that we have a North Pole & a South Pole but no planet. Even at the Quantum scale a body is needed for polarity. So thoughout PT I may refer to things such as ternary polarity or balanced ternary polarity or Phlogic Polarity etc. As every component in PT has this Phlogic Ternary Polarity

Phurlons & Scalar Logic

The Phurlon is the scalar unit of stretch between the two ends of a Phield Phibre (Stretched Photon). It is similar in role to a Planck length, but stretchable. This is the foundational measurement in Phen Theory.

Unlike traditional spatial distance, length is fixed, but the distance between points on that length is flexible. That’s the role of the Phurlon. 

All Phurlons are straight between any 2 points & can only bend or wobble etc at those junctions never between

PBT Summary

PBT is not about binary contrast, instead it introduces a grey area within a new balanced ternary system.

• ΦN — the Unobserved State of potential energy (not zero, but source)

• 1 — the complete Projection Phibre (the stretched photon)

• −1 / +1 — the end caps of a 2P projection, with mirrored "half-spin"

Merging +1 & −1 doesn’t create zero, it restores the 1. Then merging the 1 (Photon light energy) with ΦN (Potential) returns to the Phen unobserved state as potential energy waiting to emerge again
