You've already agreed that if the law of identity is true then 2+2=4 and can't =5.
Quote: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
No such universe can be described. You're making a use/mention error. 4 things can't have the identity of 5 (it doesn't matter what universe it is). All you can do is label 4 things as "5".... 4 things are still 4 things and 5 things are still 5 things. Labelling is irrelevant.
Quote: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.
I told you enough times it doesn't fucking matter what universe it is and I've given my reasons. A=A is absolute in all hypotheticals. Address that.
