Second, you misunderstand me. logic itself is incapable of responding to stimuli. It is a static 'law', and not a thing.
A static law is not a thing? Got it. Ok, no I don't. It's a noun, so unless you can make the case for person or place, I'm afraid thing is all we got left.
Quote: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.
I can see where the lack of evidence for logic can come into play, sure, but still, isn't it interesting that you have been using something (allegedly, at least) you say doesn't exist in order to try and prove that it doesn't exist. Maybe that's that circular logic I've heard so much about. And I know that exists.
