-and if it's not different in the hypothetical, it still doesn't matter, because said universe holding to the law of identity, but not the other logical laws, is not sufficient condition for those laws, whatever they are, to be considered logical laws.
In a universe, where, when you add two things to two things, you have 5 things, 5 is the identity of the sum of 2 and 2...the law holds, within that universe, but does not yield what it yields here, because that -doesn't- happen here. It's not a contradiction -of mine-...it's simply a difference between this universe and the hypothetical universe.
Without, at least, entertaining he notion, you -cannot- respond with anything but straw. The proposition is not whether or not such a universe exists or is possible, it is whether or not the rules of such a universe - as expressed by that operation..in that universe, are logical.
