Logic is inference.
That's all it is.
I see an apple fall from the tree, therefore I infer a force is acting upon it.
I'll give it a name.
Gravity
I'll define through mathematics
F= G (m1 m2/r2)
I see X, I define through language and mathematics and infer Z
That's all you have.
Inference is not Truth.
You are no closer to the Truth than the Man on the Moon my friend.
I admire that you seek the truth through inference
i.e.
Occam's Razor
entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity
but that is not Omnicompetence
On a quantum level, classical physics break down...within the density of blackholes, classical physics breaks down.
Logical inference falls apart, and it's back to the drawing board.
Admirable, but you don't seem to grasp the Epistemological limitations to human based knowledge and obviously you never will.
