Abstract: From the perspective of potential infinity (poi) and actual infinity, Ref [4] has confirmed that poi and aci are in ’unmediated opposition’ (P,﹁P ) whether in ZFC or not; it has further been proved that the manners in which a variable infinitely approaches its limit also satisfy the law of intermediate exclusion. With these results as theoretical bases, this paper attempts to provide an accurate and strict logical-mathematical interpretation of the incompatibility of Leibniz’s secant and tangent lines in the medium logic system from the perspective of logical mathematics. 

Key words: calculus, limit theory, medium logic, potential infinity, actual infinity
