RBF DEFINITIONS
Absurd:

"Eddington's generalized science could look with equal validity
for less economical orders. Thus was Boolean Algebra discovered
by deliberate employment of the absurd, i.e., the nonexperience
which would mean the deliberately noneconomical. Reductio ad
Absurdum is often a powerful tool of scientific exploration."
