-ad again, it doesn't matter if the law of identity applies...to the subject of the ops question..unless the presence of that law alone, in relation to whatever it takes to make 2+2=5...is sufficient condition for such a ruleset to be called logical.
The op wishes to evade logical rules, for reasons made plain the the last thread..which that nubbin can link to whenever he wants to blow the whole thing. Fine, let him evade logic if -he- wants to. Let him propose some other set of rules. There's no sense in then, however, allowing him to call those rules "logical" - he;s the one who insisted that there be different rules in the first place, that those rules be different. He can own it, and choke on it.
It's just a convenient equivocation, not an issue of whether or not identity holds here, there, or everywhere - that is irrelevant, and not an issue of disagreement between us in any case.
