According to the law of choice tendency, the difference between the value rate of things and the average value rate of the subject (called the value rate difference) determines the objective significance of things to the subject, thus giving the definition of "truth, goodness and beauty":
Truth: It refers to the thinking value things whose value rate difference is greater than zero.
Goodness: refers to the behavior value thing with the value rate difference greater than zero.
Beauty: refers to the physiological value things whose value rate difference is greater than zero.
As the opposite of truth, goodness and beauty, "falsehood, ugliness and ugliness" refer to thinking value, behavior value and physiological value respectively.
