First, care to enlighten me to which elephant is in my room?
Second, you misunderstand me. logic itself is incapable of responding to stimuli. It is a static 'law', and not a thing. Of course a 'thought' exists in the same way logic does, which is to say, it does not exist outside of our definition for a concept. Logic is simply how we sum up the myriad of things which happen because of causation.
So no, logic does not exist 'as a thing'. Neither does a thought, or an ethereal mind. They are definitions, just as logic is, applied to a concept which works ONLY because of purely physical interactions and processes.
