Babak Jabbar Nezhad

TL;DR
This paper reveals a paradox in classical mathematics by constructing a complex analytic function that contradicts fundamental theorems, highlighting limitations of the Law of Excluded Middle in certain logical frameworks.
Contribution
It introduces a paradox demonstrating the inconsistency of LEM with complex analysis, emphasizing the relational nature of mathematical truth and the potential undecidability of logical frameworks.
Findings
Constructed a nonzero analytic function with non-isolated zeros on a connected domain.
Showed that accepting LEM leads to contradictions in complex analysis.
Argued that LEM's reliability is limited in certain mathematical contexts.
Abstract
In this paper, we present a paradox arising from the acceptance of the Law of Excluded Middle (LEM) within classical mathematics. Specifically, we construct a nonzero analytic function on a connected open subset of the complex plane whose zeros are not isolated. This contradicts a fundamental theorem in complex analysis, thereby revealing an inconsistency tied to LEM. Unlike traditional critiques that reject LEM in favor of intuitionistic or constructive mathematics, we argue that LEM is instrumental in discovering \textbf{relations} between objects and facts rather than the objects themselves. Since we are not always in direct attachment with objects, this relational perspective introduces \textbf{inherent uncertainty} in mathematical reasoning. Consequently, we propose that the logical framework of the world is undecidable, making contradictions possible in more complex contexts. Our…
