I think this inference is backwards. Logic is fundamental to what...nature? How do you figure? How much do we really understand about nature to say in all "correction"? I argue that language is more-so fundamental with respect to human nature for constructing meaning. Humans know more about humans than they know about nature. Do you not agree? I argue further...
So a rock is what it is: a rock. To a petrologist, a rock is a form of igneous sediment crystallized granite mineral heat ashes energized molecules strong chemical bonds atoms etc. Break up a rock, and reduce its meaning. Less information has more meaning. This suggests there is no intrinsic meaning in material things. Since when you lose a sense of order, you also lose a sense of meaning. I explain more below.
Do you think everything is pointless? To say so is incomplete and inaccurate. We might not see an ultimate point, but we do see a distribution of points (on a wave function) that become more ordered in time (in their destination). This "plot" we see is based on the concept of entropy in statistical mechanics. Where a loss of information comes from a loss of randomness, and so the maximum entropy is assumed for the most probable explanation of a physical system (Boltzmann).
It's also what I mean by the probabilistic nature of the universe. To be more correct, it's the probabilistic nature of humans looking at the universe. Time is chance, so I infer '4D'-thinking. God might not play dice with the universe, but it seems the universe is playing dice with God.
