Please define linear logic and area logic. Logic is logic.

In logic you must define your terms before reasoning with them.

In linear logic they go pretty much from the premeses to the conclusion,
pretty much following the shortest path.

In area logic, they go from the premeses, to Mr. Wittke who tells them what
common sense says, then to a different conclusion. That way he maximizes
the solution area.

In logic you must define your terms before reasoning with them.


"Reasoning", now there is something I haven't seen him do...

What he maximizes is the idiocy index.

Thanks
