This is what you're supposed to get out of "2 + 2 = 5", that this universe is weird. It doesn't run on the same stuff as ours. And that is impossible to comprehend with our conditioned minds, so the best I could do was to give an impossible sum and hypothesize it to be true.
Yet another weird ass claim about a silly hypothetical. Obviously it;s not impossible to comprehend with our conditioned minds. I'm having no trouble. You've just baffled some of the posters here with bullshit...they keep thinking there must be more to this than there is, some deeper flaw or fundamental misstep, it must be -impossible-...it just must be. No, it mustn't be, and even if it's possible or even -actual-, it just isn't logical, lol.
You want it to be different, so let it be different, and stop trying to call it the thing you intentionally made it different to.
@Ham. IDK buddy, it was trivially easy for me to imagine a universe in which the operation of addition between two quantities of two yielded a sum of 5. Just as it;s been trivally easy for me to see why such rulie as would make that true need their own term to differentiate them from rules that -do not- make that true. No plumbing the depths of the structure of the cosmos required, no notions of impossiblity or the universality of any specific logical law. Just an obfuscatory equivocation that;s clearly served it;s purpose by the added life this corpse of a hypothetical managed to dredge up in it's new home.
