There's a relatively new mathematical branch of logic (probably, you've
heard about it in sound circuitry, although Ruben Cabigting used in in
designing the heating system in Wheaton) called "fuzzy logic". The basis
of it is that, in reality, questions are almost always multifactored,
and, in addition, the value of any given factor can change the relative
importance of the others. Using this, we can see moral dilemmas not as
matters of black and white, or as shades of gray, but of many blacks and
many whites combined into a single entity.

Thanks to both you and Bart for the links, they would be good to
give as handouts in theosophical reading groups.
I think we are very much conditioned into two term logic and this
locks us into a very linear and black & white type of world view.
