The methodology

Horistics

Ὁριστική

The logic of designating mental real estate that is exclusive to one concept.

Etymology

The word contains the method.

ὁρίζω

horizo

to delineate

To place or establish limits. The act of drawing a boundary around something — separating what belongs from what does not.

ὁρίζων

horizon

the horizon

The panoramic limit of sight. The word that names the boundary of the visible world is the same root as the word that names this methodology.

δασεία

daseia

rough breathing

The diacritic over ὁ that produces the H sound. The H in Horistics is not a translation convention. It is in the Greek.

The horistic definition of Horistics

"Horistics is the apposite and airtight formulation
of the differentia of concepts."

The definition defines itself by its own standard.

Dialectics — the master discipline.

Horistics is the cornerstone of dialectics. Without the ability to define precisely, genuine dialectics is impossible.

The definition of Dialectics

"Dialectics is asking the right questions and providing the right answers with an eye to uncovering the truth regarding the issue under examination."

No court, no judge, no lawyer, no prosecutor can defeat dialectics. It does not argue — it reveals the structure of truth. This is why a position grounded in valid definitions and correct reasoning stands independently of who is arguing it or how persuasively.

The structure.

37Nodes

Each node is a logical operation in the methodology. The nodes are interconnected — the output of one becomes the input of another. They are not rules. They are moves.

300+Logic trees

Each logic tree is a sequence of nodes applied to a specific class of concept. The number is growing — every term that resists definition reveals the need for new trees.

A meta-methodology governs the expansion.

The system is not closed. There is a meta-methodology that determines when a new node is needed and how it connects to the existing structure. The methodology grows by its own logic — not by accumulation, but by necessity. When a term defies all existing trees, new nodes or trees are added in between. The definition then reveals itself.

Isidoros Parlamas — Socratic scholar

71 years old. 45 years studying Plato's complete works. Every turn of Socrates in every dialogue — recognized, detected, instantiated, and tested. Horistics is the formal logical system that emerged from that study. It was not constructed from the outside. It was excavated from within the Socratic method itself. It is available exclusively through direct consultancy with its author.
