The simple logic description of digital thinking:

From 「there is no peony」, we cannot infer 「there is no peony」, which is an inference from many causes to a result; in the inference from one cause to one result we can infer 「there is no peony」 from 「there is no peony」. From many causes to a result is just like the method of digital thinking while from a cause to a result is just like the method of mold. Here let me give an example.

Please draw a tree.

The way from a cause to a result is to give you a piece of paper, a pen, and all sorts of paints. Then ask you to draw it out. In the mold thinking people often draw the tree in their thought first. That is the way.

The method of from many causes to a result is the principle of digital cameras. That is, divide a screen into many small checks and equip each check with color, bright and contrast according to the same principle of electrical signals and finally scan out a beautiful tree on the screen. So the method of from many causes to a result is to deal with thousands of small checks with electromagnet signals. Its characteristic is that we don』t need paper, pen and paint and only need to set up many little checks of same nature.

You may notice that in the method of from many causes to a result we need to use three little units like 「here」, 「there」 and 「peony」 so as to ascertain that 「there is no peony」. The merit of the method of from many causes to a result is that it does not need many little units of same nature to finish and the conclusion it made is accurate and reliable. It does not need materials of different size and nature like paper, pen and paint.

You may have your own view that on some day in the future whether humans are crazy about painting a tree with a pen or about scan a tree with a digital camera?
