Bridging Ancient Wisdom and Modern Logic: Neutrosophic Perspectives on Body, Mind, Soul and Spirit

Abstract

This study explores the application of neutrosophic logic to the interrelation of body, 
mind, soul, and spirit, proposing a fluid model that moves beyond traditional dualistic frameworks. 
Unlike rigid categorizations, the Body-Mind-Soul-Spirit Fluidity model introduces a non-binary 
approach where these elements interact dynamically, existing in varying degrees of truth, falsehood, 
and indeterminacy. By integrating n-valued refined neutrosophic logic, this framework enhances 
the representation of uncertainty, contradiction, and partial beliefs, particularly in stance detection. 
A computational model is developed to classify stances in academic literature, leveraging a zero
shot classifier based on BART-large-MNLI. The model assigns neutrosophic values across multiple 
dimensions, enabling a nuanced understanding of support, opposition, and neutrality with refined 
degrees such as partial support and partial opposition. Furthermore, the study establishes 
philosophical connections between neutrosophy and indigenous worldviews, such as those of the 
Yoruba, Mayan, and Amazonian traditions, emphasizing the rejection of rigid dichotomies. These 
insights suggest that neutrosophic logic can be extended to ethics, AI, and cognitive science, 
providing a robust framework for reasoning under uncertainty and dynamic identity structures.
