Perhaps, but logic may just be a constraint on our thinking which arose because we exist in a universe where the law of identity holds. Could there be a universe with entirely different logical laws? I'm not sure. Also, I wouldn't say that logic is the sum of all logical things; rather, it is what is necessarily common to all logical things by virtue of their being logical (and perhps by virtue of their existing as things at all).
