Obviously, it's not, because you'd rather bicker about identity as though -I- disagreed either in position or example...which obviously I don't, than consider the ops question..which was this. Could such a ruleset be logical? End of, oh ye lord of straw.(November 6, 2016 at 3:39 pm)Rhythm Wrote: Does what op says have something to do with what I say, Ham?
Yes when you tell me that in the OP's hypothetical A need not =A and 2+2 perhaps can =5... that's what the OP is saying. You're at least accepting the hypotehtical of 2+2=5 in another universe or the law of identity not applying in naother universe.
Carry on, if you must, with whatever it is you want to kvetch about..until the end of days. It will never approach or answer the question I've repeatedly asked you, or the question contained in the op, regardless of which of us has managed to formulate the question more sensibly or amenably to the way that -you- think.
"You must accept my propositions of universal logical rules, and the universe described is illogical" No one cares, no ones asked, it's an irrelevance.
