This pet project was gigantic-completed, the Seaway would permit ships of 24-foot draft to sail 2,350 miles from Duluth to the Atlantic in nine days. Among other things it called for two great dams (generating 2,200,000 h.p. of electrical energy) to be built on the International Rapids, where the St. Lawrence, slow-moving through most of its mighty length, falls 92 feet in 48 miles. It called for ten miles of canals and three great locks around these rapids, for navigation improvements through Lake St. Francis and the Soulanges Rapids farther downriver, for dams, locks...

A four-valued logic would permit: true, probably true, possibly true, not true. (The word "and" then acquires 14.348,907 distinct meanings.*) Such logic is not speculative nonsense but a tool urgently needed, for example, by atom-studying physicists. It is also vital in comprehending the relativity-universe prescribed by the theory of emergent evolution...
