 A "tetralemma of curiosity"?  What does it mean?

It was supposed to be a truth table of sorts.
Can you be:
     Curious and     Incurious?  False
     Curious and Not Incurious?  True
Not Curious and     Incurious?  True
Not Curious and Not Incurious?  False

Meanwhile, what about Linux?
 ObLinux: the dict(1) command:
 $ dict incurious

    Incurious \In*cu"ri*ous\, a. [L. incuriosus: cf. F. incurieux.
      See {In-} not, and {Curious}.]
      Not curious or inquisitive; without care for or interest in;
      inattentive; careless; negligent; heedless.
      [1913 Webster]
               Carelessnesses and incurious deportments toward their
            children.                                --Jer. Taylor.

  From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
    incurious
       adj 1: showing absence of intellectual inquisitiveness or
              natural curiosity; "strangely incurious about the cause
              of the political upheaval surrounding them" [ant:
              {curious}]
  From Moby Thesaurus II by Grady Ward, 1.0 [moby-thesaurus]:
    61 Moby Thesaurus words for "incurious":
      absent, absentminded, abstracted, aloof, apathetic, ataractic,
      blase, bored, careless, casual, detached, devil-may-care,
      disinterested, dispassionate, disregardant, disregardful, distant,

phlegmatic?  Sounds loogie-ish.

Linux is an opportunity for the curious: if you want to know why
the OS acts in a certain way, it's nice to be able to refer
to the source code of the running kernel.
 (Let me know if you'd like an example.)

I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think you can find the exact place(s) in the kernel source code that's responsible for a given behavior.
