• Abstract: We prove three structural impossibility results demonstrating that fuzzy metric spaces cannot capture essential features of quantum state geometry. First, we show they cannot model destructive interference between concepts due to phase insensitivity. Second, we prove there is no distance-preserving embedding from quantum state space into any fuzzy metric space. Third, we establish that fuzzy logic cannot distinguish symmetric from antisymmetric concept combinations -- a fundamental limitation for modeling structured knowledge. These theorems collectively show that fuzzy frameworks are structurally incapable of representing intrinsic uncertainty, where quantum mechanics provides a superior, geometrically coherent alternative.

• Universal quantum theory contains twisted logic [0.0]
  Heisenberg's uncertainty principle leads to the impossibility of stringing together logical deductions about outcomes of consecutive non-compatible measurements. We show how overlooking this non-trivial logical structure leads to the erroneous possibility of distinguishing non-orthogonal states with a single measurement.

• Emergence of classical behavior in the early universe [68.8204255655161]
  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
