Logic is not the medium, the medium is just how it is expressed.

<Which brings us to the question of what defines it, what makes it exist, and what does it depend upon? Unless logic is just a convenient tool that 'seems to work', and has no real existence >

What makes it exist? The four forces of the apocalypse: Gravity, Weak, Strong and Electromagnetic.


Logic is not dependent on any of these forces. Basic logic would remain pretty much unaltered if these forces where different. In fact the recognition of the existence of these forces relies on science which is based on logic. Absent logic there isn't any specific reason to believe any of these forces exist.
