(iii) One can have only relative truth, not the absolute truth. It depends upon 'when and where' you are.
(iv) The classical views of absolute mass, time, space have to be modified in terms of relativity interrelation (v) It has virtually no credit to unverifiable intuitional insight
(vii) It is not represented by particular term and it has a literal meaning
It relies on intuition more over experimental observations. Logic is to systematize experience.
(vi) It has a rational and co-operative It has a paranormal and philosophic approach approach less prone to reason. It could not progress due to over logic.
It is denoted by the prefix 'Syať' or 'in some respect' to indicate partial true character of statement.
(viii) It discards, modifies or even replaces classical laws and views
(ix) The contradictory attributes may be observed at the same time
(x) Mass is a concentrated form of energy and inter-convertible or even annihilable
(xi) The space may follow Euclidean and non-euclidean geometry

(where 24 parameters are virtually insoluble).

It maintains the old and new views intact, as every view is partially true. This overburdens the mind for action. This may not be acceptable. A system cannot behave ambiguously at the same time.
This postulate is not traceable in canons but many scholars have made a guess about it
The space follows traditional geometry
