Relativity, Uncertainty, Quantum Mechanics, and the math of Dirac (tensors) among other things, are not "logical".
Actually, there is quite a bit of recent discussion about similarities between Aristotelian notions of act and potency and quantum mechanics.
Taking Heisenberg’s Potentia Seriously
While I have only scanned the article, it seems to align with something I have speculated about a lot lately. That is, the apparent irrationality of the quantum level is exactly what one would expect from potency prior to having order imposed upon it by actualities. Also I have often explained that the mind/body problem simply does not exist in Scholasticism. This paper seems to confirm that understanding.
Where exactly is order "imposed" on the quantum world ?
There is no "mind-body" problem.

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
