Formal truth and formal falsehood are originally found in the mental pronouncements and in the act of judgment of the mind, not in the concepts and in the apprehensive act of the mind. The mind is formally true if not only when it assents to a true proposition, but also when it rejects a false proposition as such. The mind is formally false not only when it assents to a false proposition embracing it as true, but likewise when it rejects a true proposition as true.
When the mind does not assent to a true proposition or to a false proposition, or suspends its assents because of doubt, the mind is neither true nor false. It is the same case when the mind suspends its rejection of a true, or of false proposition.
Reaction
It is said that true is that what is in your mind conformed to what is in the reality while false is that when what is in your mind does not conform to reality.
