Can't be done. Can't even by hypothesized. Can only be mentioned or labelled that way.
Quote:or would you, instead, think such rules would deserve their own term?
Such rules couldn't exist to be given another term. And if there could? There isn't even any "if there could" about it, that's the whole point. If they could then there would be a logical contradiction which would mean they couldn't. 2+2=5 ultimately violates the law of identity which means 2+2=not 5.
If there were other logical mathematical logical laws they certainly wouldn't be any logical or mathematical laws that violate the law of identity, like 2+2=5 or any other of the bullshit mentioned in the OP/failed to be hypothesized in the OP without presupposing the law of identity and thereby contradicting the hypothesis itself which is what I mean by failed to be hypothesized.
