When a Japanese person and a logician look at the same symbol, they're both technically correct from their frame of reference! The symbol "⊥" appears as a "T" rotated 90 degrees. To the Japanese person, it's clearly "top" since in Japanese typography this character represents "top" or "above." Meanwhile, the logician sees the same symbol and also says "top" because in formal logic, "⊥" represents a contradiction or "top" in lattice theory. Two completely different knowledge domains arriving at the same verbal conclusion while meaning entirely different things! The universe really does have a sense of humor when it comes to cross-cultural symbols.
