- Occupatio
Orphan date October 2008 Occupatio , literally seizing , is the rhetorical figure of bringing up and responding to a counterpoint before the opponent has the chance to make it. This is as opposed to apophasis , where the rhetorician feigns unwillingness to discuss a topic he or she is interested in. Some may ask why we should go to such expense, but I believe this project is worthy of any expense taken. I believe this argument has been logically concluded, but doubtless my opponent will respond to me anyway out of his compulsive desire to have the last word. Occupatio was an original method of acquisition of ownership of un owned property res nullius in Roman law by occupying with intent to own. There are 3 requirements 1. The property must not be owned res nullius 2. You must occupy the property have physical control 3. You must have the intention to own the property. In Rome, abandoned property was res nullius, in other jurisdictions nowadays abandoned property falls to the crown.

- Ta'tili
Orphan date August 2008 Ta til means negation , and the Ta tili school is the Negationist school of Kalam , the school tradition of Negative theology according to Islam . Negative Apophasis apophatic theology and its procedures in Islam were first clearly found in the writings of Ali . Followers of the Ta tili school are called Mu attil. They formally reject any attribution to the essence of God. The Jahmiyya , founded by Jahm bin Safwan , is one of the major Ta tili schools of Kalam. The Mu tazili also adopted Ta tili views regarding God, and so did the Ash ari , but the latter only to some extent. Salafi s, who believe in an anthropomorpic essence of God in a literal sense hold the Ta tili to be atheist or rejecters of attributes, and thus, disbelievers. The Ta tili view their Kalam tradition to be deducing the ultimate nature of God, while considering the attributes mentioned in religious revelation to be relative. Hence they view their logical Kalam as separate from and preceding religious knowledge or revelation. To them, Prophet Muhammad was first a Hanif Mu attil, and only then did revelation come to him. Prominent among the modern day Mu attil is Maolana M. Shahruz Zahrat of Bangladesh.

- Logical quality
In many philosophy philosophies of logic statements are categorized into different logical qualities based on how they go about saying what they say. Doctrines of logical quality are an attempt to answer the question How many qualitatively different ways are there of saying something? Aristotle answers, two you can affirm something of something or deny something of something. Since Frege , the normal answer in the West, is only one, assertion , but what is said, the content of the claim, can vary. For Frege asserting the negation of a claim serves roughly the same role as denying a claim does in Aristotle. Other Western logicians such as Kant and Hegel answer, ultimately three you can affirm, deny or make merely limiting affirmations, which transcend both affirmation and denial. In Indian logic , four logical qualities have been the norm, and Nagarjuna is sometimes interpreted as arguing for five. Aristotle s two logical qualities In Aristotle s term logic there are two logical qualities affirmation kataphasis and denial apophasis . The logical quality of a proposition is whether it is affirmative the predicate is affirmed of the subject or negative the predicate is denied of the subject . Thus every man is a mortal is affirmative, since mortal is affirmed of man . No men are immortals is negative, since immortal is denied of man . ref name deinter Aristotle De Interpretatione section 6 ref . Making do with a single logical quality Logical quality has become much less central to logical theory in the twentieth century. It has become common to use only one logical quality, typically called logical assertion . Much of the work previously done by distinguishing affirmation from denial is typically now done through the theory of negation . ref name hurley Patrick Hurley, A Concise Introduction To Logic. Thomson Wadsworth, ninth edition 2006 p. 323 ref Thus, to most contemporary logicians, making a denial is essentially reducible to affirming a negation. Denying that Soc ... more details

- Music without sound
NOTOC Music without sound can refer to music that falls outside the range of human hearing typically 20 Hz 20 kHz or to compositions, such as visual music , that are analogous to or suggestive of conventional music but in media other than sound, such as color, shape, position, motion and literature see Discursive music below . It is commonly taken for granted that music is wont to be performed or recorded, but some sound works simply won t fit on a disc or on stage, being either extremely discreet like Robin Minard s Silent Music or un complete Var se s Unfinished music . Additionally, silence can be regarded as the via negativa of music and has induced long lasting fascination to music composers of all kinds. A composer deals with the absence of sound as much as he deals with sounds. Therefore, this article includes several examples of apophasis in music like Algorithmic music or Gesture Music . cquote It seems to me that the most radical redefinition of music would be one that defines music without reference to sound. br Robert Ashley , 1961 ref Michael Nyman, Experimental Music , 1974, p. 10. ref . Gesture Music Sofia Gubaidulina br Silence in music happens when the music stops during a performance. It is sometimes replaced by gesture music. In his Sofia Gubaidulina biography ref Michael Kurtz Sofia Gubaidulina A Biography , p 184, english translation Indiana University Press, 2007 written 2001 ref , Michael Kurtz mentions the silent solo performance by the conductor included in ...Stimmenn... verstummen... , an orchestral work from 1986. cquote The symphony is notable for its careful and innovative use of silence. Though the eighth movement has the largest proportions of the work, the climax actually takes place in the ninth movement when the conductor motions before a silent orchestra. The motions the conductor makes are meant to make his hands move increasingly farther apart from each other according to the Fibonacci sequence. This conductor solo is repea ... more details
