no claim is automatically logical

in order for a claim to be considered logical, it must be demonstrated and each component defined

for example

something plus something divided by something and then multiplied by the square-root of something = 42


you can't prove me wrong - so it must be true

if you don't believe me then you are just denying mathematical facts

Actual truth is only that which you cannot ignore. As long as you can ignore something, it doesnt matter if its true or not, as it will be ignored regardless. Thus, one must develop ability to ignore things, in order to overcome the truth and live in true ignorance where there is no difference between fact and fiction.

One equation allows you to determine only one unknown value. It is a fundamental rule that you need as many equations as you have unknown values. Four unknowns means that we need four equations to solve the problem.

right

this example is supposed to illustrate how ridiculous logically incoherent arguments can be

like this one

god + objective-truth + moral-principle + bible = universal-morality

god = undefined variable

objective-truth = undefined variable

moral-principle = undefined variable

bible = undefined variable

universal-morality = undefined variable

would you call this a "true statement" ?

Yes, if X=3, Y=2 ,Z=1, and W=49

(3x2)/1 X sqrt 49= 6 x 7= 42

true based on these conditions

what about this one

god + objective-truth + moral-principle + bible = universal-morality

would you call this a "true statement" ?

not necessarily

1. tatsache
2. hecho
3. fait
4. факт
5. fatto
6. 事实
7. 사실
8. 事実
9. fakta
10. तथ्य

I assert and claim all these as facts as well.

Which all of which translates to what in English?

That's another fact.

If you really notice, it depends on how you use the word "claim". Nothing controversial there .

most of them are approximations of the english word "fact"

but not exact one-to-one translations

Which are more facts I claim and assert.

We can keep going on and on. Bottomline is I can claim a fact that actually is one or anything yet to be proven to be depending on how the word "claim" is used.

it sounds like you're simply proposing definitions

step one - define terms

step two - build a logical claim with those terms
