Found it.
This is why I'm right.
Whether the answer is "yes" or "no" to this question I asked here in the above quoted text... the law of identity applies in the universe the OP hypothesized. This is because all hypotheticals imply the law of identity. So when the OP says otherwise explicitly he's contradicting this implication and that's why the hypothetical is self-contradictory and why there's no coherent question to address.
Read what I said... notice how whether it's a "yes" or a "no" the law of identity's truth is implied. The OP's premise and therefore concluding question is fucked implicitly from the outset.

When you're saying Goblygoop has none of our logical laws are you saying that it has none of our logical laws? If yes then you've given it the law of identity. If no then you've given it the law of identity. Your premise is fucked.
