Extended Abstract
Introduction
One of the epistemological debates in Cyberspace is the ethical implication of indeterminacy, which arises from its inherent zero-infinity binary logic. Since this logic is both linguistic and mathematical in nature, we argue that it can be discursively problematized. The central question here is: how can we discuss cyberspace when the zero-one binary in cyberspace is endlessly and infinitely regenerated despite our unchanging situation? The second question to be addressed is: How the issue of indeterminacy in cyberspace can lead to a crisis in our real-world cognitive schemas? Given that the indeterminacy in cyberspace stems from a shift in its verification-falsification logic, we believe that this logic can be analyzed through Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem and Cantor's continuum hypothesis. Therefore, this paper positions itself within the axiomatic framework of these two scholars to reconsider cyber ethics.
Methodology
One of the most important methodologies in media is the analysis of media and the influence of text and audience through library research.
Finding
Cyberspace Policy and Ethical Issues in Cyberspace
One of the challenges in the cyberspace policy is the question of indeterminacy and its consequential indecision where the truth value of the statements is unverifiable. This semantic problem is immanent, as opposed to transcendent. So, the argument of this paper is that it can be problematized by Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem. The point is that the indeterminacy of the cyberspace tends to be reproduced endlessly and thus, it never leads to the invariant core of the meaning and decidedness.
Code and Binary has ontologically and epistemologically role.
Our static state under the zero-one binary has ontologically and epistemologically faced us with a double asynchrony as follows:between the inside and outside of the cyberspace and within the cyberspace itself where many inner relations are at work.
Anomic situation is consequence of the outcome of this double asynchrony as a new dimension; against this backdrop and with respect to Gödel's incompleteness theorem, it can be argued that we are faced with an anomic situation where the centrality of the cyberspace is destined to refutation. This situation has a linguistic nature and signification, because the cyberspace abounds in propositions with unverifiable truth values.
Another argument here is that he problem of indecision and the radical uncertainty in the cyberspace has created different operator/regulator relations in the countries around the world.
It has culminated in a mass dictatorship – filtering and panopticism. The operator-regulator relation has led to either a mass dictatorship and populism, or strict filtering policies. Although internet governance may be shared by the civil society, in countries suffering from state dictatorship and social anomia, it is highly problematic. The indeterminacy in the cyberspace has added a new dimension to human intelligence, because it is highly associated with trans-infinity, infinity, limitedness and indecision. That is why the truth value of the propositions in the programming language needs to be verified through a meta-induction or the induction of the websites with more or less similar content. But this is not a good solution, because new dimensions are involved in shaping the inductions and they are not necessarily faithful to the similar reference groups due to the high speed in which the data are disseminated.
Analysis
It is obvious that moral propositions within the cyberspace are diverse. A single picture is interpreted by different propositions. A single event is interpreted with different correspondent/inconsistent/contradictory propositions. Why the language of cyberspace is inclined to an anomic representation? Based on the semantic rules, the logic of a sentence is as follows: Any sentence can assume a value of either A or B and none is both. Thus, it has been termed as a “two-valued logic”. It is the opposite of the “many-valued logic” where any proposition can have multiple values. From a semantic perspective, it can be argued that the cyberspace follows a pattern similar to the logic of many-valued sentences. Drawing on Frege’s account of natural language, it should be concluded that Pictorial language also follows a fuzzy logic.
Conclusions
Is technology just a tool or is it an entity that creates a field of application possibilities according to the formal and effective cause of its creator? The current paper argues that every device has the possibility of use. Technology is essentially applied in techne in terms of formal and creative causes. In fact, this phenomenon defines “our place of being”, i.e., our static state under the zero-one binary to infinity. This phenomenon is born of its time. The central questions to be touched upon here are: what is the language of this phenomenon? what is its relationship with human existence and his/her sensory-behavioral features? With respect to the fact that our static state undergoes an endless alteration under this zero-one binary, how can desirability be defined in the field of cyber ethics? Finally, what kinds of crises have resulted from Gödel's incompleteness theorems in terms of data veracity and non-transparency?
This situation has a linguistic nature and signification, because the cyberspace abounds in propositions with unverifiable truth values. To put it in a nutshell, there is neither an intersystem nor an intrasystemic congruency at work. The question here is that does this challenge originate from the nature of the cyberspace as a technical tool?
