This universe clearly does have other laws, even if it has -some- of the same laws...for example, if it is true that in that universe, 2+2=5, each term meaning exactly what we mean by them, in this universe. Obviously, for that to be true...even assuming identity, some other rules must be at play, some other relationships between propositions, inference, and conclusions...that we don;t know about, things that aren't occurring here.
Is the presence of that law, despite the presence of what must some other, unknown set of laws, sufficient condition to describe those rules, whatever they are, as logical? Does it help us to discuss them, by using th same term for them, despite what must be an incredible difference, in spite of any single similarity, between them?
