And there goes the discussion.

Depends on how much cash you can pay. Follicles are extra.

Random states of Code cannot violate logical principles in any case (though Code isn't the purpose of this discussion, since it's not about MR) because that would be able to allow a condition to arise where you're asserting something that doesn't make sense to be true. It's fine to say "this universe could not exist unless these 99.99999999999999999999% odds line up, but because of Code they do" but it's not fine to say "because of Code, we can have a statement that is true that is also false" because that kind of a statement cannot even be properly parsed. It's as intelligible as saying "the sky ate the color of four ocean grandmothers increasing halves." There's no universe where that condition can be true because the condition doesn't make sense.
I think what you're getting at here is a universe with a different set of axioms, which is absolutely fine. Any system can "exist" as long as it's self-consistent.
<Snipped quote by The World>
If you remove the foundation of logic, all claims become meaningless. I can claim that whatever you propose is false for the sake of it and there isn't anything that can falsify that. Logic is the only way to reach a conclusion, and you can't reach the conclusion that an illogical world can exist without the use of a logic-bound reasoning system, which forbids the former's existence.
There is no order without logic. Every idea becomes an isolated entity floating in the sea of nothingness, a place where I can just as easily destroy the notion of any other universe with the simple declaration that they don't exist, easily as you can create them.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
It is fun to think about. I think that when discussing logic, the conversational idea of what is "logical" (what makes sense to us given the facts we know) gets conflated with the definitional view of what is "logical" (what we can derive given a set of premises and axioms).
<Snipped quote by The World>
That doesn't make sense though. Our entire perception of reality relies on the fact that we accept logical derivations to be true. If we suddenly decide that they don't have to be, in this universe or in any other, we lose any ability to make sense of our own universe. As far as the world is concerned, if a conclusion isn't logical, it's false.
And while you could claim otherwise, if you remove logic's ability to determine definite truth, it's impossible to prove whether or not your own claim is true. It's unfalsifiable, which is a fallacy (which I suppose also wouldn't matter if logic is stripped of its power?).
<Snipped quote by The World>
Nothing can create an internal logical contradiction. No system imaginable can make 2+2=5 and leave every other axiom alone.
<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>
I'd disagree with Dark on that front, since it would only be possible to include universes with legitimately possible physics systems. Those with logical contradictions wouldn't be able to exist.

*Turns to the screen*
Yes I am.
Edit: Also, would there be such a thing as fiction if the whole Totality theory is true and our reality exists alongside all the others, fictional or otherwise?
