For shame Rhythm. I didn't reply in the other thread because your last post had no substance in relation to the topic.

Yes, let's.

Agreed. Check.
Quote: There's no reason to wonder what the terms mean, or how it would come about to be so. It;s a hypothetical universe, it can hypothetically be however the imaginer wants it to be,
Agreed, because potentially said imagined universe could be a possiblity.
Quote:particularly since it's a universe where logic doesn't apply, a universe with different rules.
Yes, our logic does not apply. In this hypothetical, it's the formal laws of goblygoop.
Quote:What it can't be, if the imaginer wants it to be a universe with different rules, where logic doesn't apply...is logical.
Incorrect. The OP contains the simple answer to why it is logical. Since this hypothetical universe has its own way of functioning, it means that it will have its own way for beings to ponder their universe, and such a construct is what we call "LOGIC" - a formal set of axioms by which one can reason. Thus, there can be such a thing as 'logical' in that universe, including of course their logic itself - goblygoop.[/quote]
