And
The English word “AND” is too much overloaded.
There are different notions to disambiguate:
2 AND 3is5- a synonym to addition - universal operation of putting together.p AND qis a logical connective - an expression context.a AND ALSO bis a together with b - a structural (an aggregate) context.a AND SIMULTANEOUSLY b- at the same time - environmental (same locality) context.
These notions belong to different contexts and mixing them up is a type-error.
3 AND 2is always equal to5p AND pas an expression is eitherTrueorFalsea AND ALSO bis(a, b)which is (or is not) the same as(b, a)a AND SIMULTANEOUSLY bare related or not.
Here at the same time (simultaneously) could mean either
- parallel (have nothing in common - unrelated) - may be different environment
- concurrent (interfering with one another) - the same environment (same locality).
Locality is real (actual), time is imaginary (derived abstract notion).
