Manifesto for Resolving Paradoxes
          /translation and formatting done by AI/
Author: Huseyn Gurbanov
I. The Nature of Paradox A paradox arises not from reality itself, but from confusion in defining the relationship between concepts.
II. The Law of Positional Dependence Every concept exists either as leading or following.
•   The leading defines, sets the frame.
•   The following depends, reflects, obeys. A paradox is an illusion born when this dependence is ignored.
III. The Universal Key To resolve a paradox, ask:
•   What is leading?
•   What is following? Once the position is clear, the contradiction dissolves.
IV. Examples
•   Chicken and Egg: chicken is leading, egg is following → chicken is primary.
•   Achilles and the Tortoise: Achilles’ movement is leading, tortoise’s marks are following → Achilles catches up.
•   Ship of Theseus: identity is leading, parts are following → the ship remains itself.
•   Schrödinger’s Cat: observation is leading, state of the cat is following → paradox disappears.
•   Arrow of Zeno: movement is leading, moment of time is following → the arrow moves.
V. Meaning This method is not only philosophical. It applies to science, ethics, logic, artificial intelligence. It teaches us to see order where chaos seems to reign.
VI. Conclusion A paradox is not the enemy of reason, but its trial. Resolving a paradox means restoring the proper order of concepts. Truth is clarity of position.
Table of Paradoxes (English Version)
Paradox   Formulation   Leading Concept   Following Concept   Resolution
Chicken and Egg   “Which came first?”   Chicken   Egg   Egg depends on chicken → chicken is primary.
Achilles and the Tortoise   Achilles never catches the tortoise   Achilles’ movement   Tortoise’s marks   Movement is positional → Achilles catches up.
Liar Paradox   “This statement is false”   Truth   Statement   Statement cannot define its own truth → outside the system.
Ship of Theseus   Replace all parts: is it the same ship?   Identity   Material parts   Identity defines the object → ship remains itself.
Zeno’s Arrow   At each moment the arrow is still   Movement as process   Moment of time   Movement is defined by process → arrow moves.
Crocodile Paradox   Crocodile promises return if father guesses correctly   Crocodile’s action   Father’s prediction   Prediction depends on action → paradox dissolves.
Schrödinger’s Cat   Cat is both alive and dead until observed   Observation   Cat’s state   State depends on observation → paradox disappears.
Artificial Intelligence   Autonomy vs human control   System’s goal   Degree of autonomy   Autonomy depends on goal → AI is autonomous only within defined purpose.
Time Travel   Traveler kills grandfather before birth   Line of causality   Traveler’s action   Action depends on causality → cannot break the leading structure.
