We don't know, but if there were, we couldn't cogently describe it or anything about it by reference to a system of axioms derived from this universe where...so far as we know (and that's not exactly a full throated invocation of inviolable truth, now is it, lol)...such is not the case.
Logic, as a system, has all the limitations of this universe..plus whatever additional limitations arise from the axioms of the system itself -and- those who employ it.
Hell, even in -this- universe the system wasn't always formed as such. We didn't discover these "laws" all at once...and I don't know how we could know if we'd found the very last piece yet..today. Propositional logic may still be incomplete just in this world, and whatever else that's left, if there;s anything left, may invalidate some axiomatic x...just as it has in the past. The continued existence of paradox strongly implies that we haven;t gotten it quite right..somehow.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
