The author introduces for the first time the concept of plithogeny in philosophy and, as a derivative, the concepts of plithogenic set / logic / probability / statistics in mathematics and engineering – and the degrees of contradiction (dissimilarity) between the attributes’ values that contribute to a more accurate construction of plithogenic aggregation operators and to the plithogenic relationship of inclusion (partial ordering). They resulted from practical needs in our everyday life, and several examples and applications of them are presented. Plithogeny is the genesis or origination, creation, formation, development, and evolution of new entities from dynamics and organic fusions of contradictory and/or neutrals and/or non-contradictory multiple old entities. Plithogeny pleads for the connections and unification of theories and ideas in any field. As “entities” in this study, we take the “knowledges” in various fields, such as soft sciences, hard sciences, arts and letters theories, etc.
