Truths and Lies

Truth And Lies.

I am about to give a  philosophical  look at truth and lie(s) to shed a little light on there nature and character as a way of defining them,  but due to the extensive content of this topic i have taken the liberty of keeping it as abstract as possible.
Ps. The concrete description given to the entities are entirely symbolic and do not describe their true nature. 

Lie(s).

A lie is an entity of varying boundaries and contents. It is a sort of a speech chameleon that is backed by fictional statements, speculative values, approximated measures ,guessed references and wrongly composed semantic definitions. All of which are variables. It is also fabricated by many versions as seen in the most accepted lie. This makes the lie more appealing to the perceiver and the perceiver only hears out what he or she wants to hear from the versions and when converted to carrier the perceiver’s version of the entity appeals to those who fall under the same persona. The persona is a set of defined parameters that every perceiver unknowingly or knowingly predefines about a topic such that they have a defined expectation of what to perceive about a certain topic. When this act becomes assertive a perceiver is said to be prejudiced or biased. This condition makes a perceiver resistant to change or newer parameters set by statements of the conveyer and thus   respond by ignoring and expressing total disapproval of the statement(s) or make their version of the statements that seem relatively appealing and with their prejudgment  express lenient disapproval of the statements. This will lead to the occurrence of many versions of the lie.
Take an example Susan who was at a party  drunk in the morning with a memory blank and is lied to by her friend that she was nauseous the previous night and puked all over the house. Now Susan is biased because she thinks that puking after drinking is a sign of weakness and so when she tells the story to her other friend omits the part about puking and replaces it with her winning the dance competition at the same party.

Truth

The truth on the other hand is a rigid entity it is total and holistic in its definition with no room of editing or flexible bounds. It is factual statements, exact values & measures and proven references. Its statement triggers an occurrence of explanations or facts about same occurrences in different geographical situations or timeline events. This means that the truth is synced and integrated with same instances of the same nature with same results or results subjected to a constant (i.e in a mathematical formula) that is recurrent and absolute in all instances. The truth also has a ripple effect on other instances. This also means that if a truth ripple can dis-spell a lie in another instance.

Take an example of Tom who arrives late to school because he had been playing marble with his friend James on their way to school. He lies to the teacher he fell and was hurt and the teacher believes him. Sometime later James arrives with a farmer who claims that he was stealing his berries. James how ever tells that he was playing marble with Tom the whole time. Tom then testifies the same and even applies time frames. The truth in this case will cause a ripple that dis-spells the lie that Tom fell and was hurt. (This could also apply to a lie if the perciever is biased or prejudiced).

The truth as an entity is not affected by predefines of the perceiver and it indiscriminately defines its values and statements regardless of the will of the perceiver or conveyer. It occurs immediately at the instance unlike a lie that occurs after the first hand assessor discovers the instance. An assessor who becomes a conveyor may state the truth or a lie. A witness however, can only state the truth unless the witness defines a value or statement outside his scope of vision.
"Half truth Half lie".
Half truths and half lies refer to situations where conveyor  relays a topic applying facts and fiction simultaneously. This sort of half baked half burnt attribute makes this form of speech hard to detect since some of the parameters are easily proven. Some conveyors use truth in largely convincing but unnecessary detail and lies on the smaller but critical details of a topic to sell the explanation. Well as we saw earlier  Truth and Lie are sort of boo-lean variables. So there cannot be a transitional entity in between them. So is the "Half truth Half lie" a truth or a lie. the fluid like boundary of a lie can intrude into the light (the light consists of  factual statements, exact values & measures and proven references which support the truth) but not to its core and this intrusion doesn't change its contents and neither does it conjoin with the truth.



So this in turn means that there are no half truths and half lies only truth and lies and since the lie can never conjoin or assimilate into the truth all "half truths and half lies" are lies.
