Lets simplify this and refer to logic as fundamental mathematical principles. So, if 1+1=2, and then 1+1=34 , the fabric of our reality will break down. So can we assume that the universe has a mechanism to keep logic "logical", and to help answer extremely fundamental questions like "what is the makeup of energy itself?"
@sapmi,
No, Sap. As the Universe proceeds merrily from Cause to Effect, abstractions such as "logic" constitute mere exchanges of electrons among brain cells

Books could be written
But I'm not one of the writers
@dalehileman,
Dale, I agree that logic, like aesthetics, are properties of the Universe insofar as they are properties of human nervous systems. That logic is separately a property of the Universe was, I guess, a presupposition of Rationalism.
@sapmi,
No, because many things are contingent, they could be one way or another but they happen to be as they are.
Logic as a property raises the question of the ability of the property - if logic creates, this means logic is duplicated.
Can logic be both creator and creation?
@sapmi,
The Universe as a whole establishes the nature of Logic and not the other way around.
Stumble It!
