When I specify the ultimate foundation of all truth then this
does apply to truth in logic, truth in math and truth in science.
*Three laws of logic apply to all propositions*
¬(p ∧ ¬p) Law of non-contradiction
(p ∨ ¬p) Law of excluded middle
p = p Law of identity
Inconsistent systems cannot be truthmakers
in those cases where they derive inconsistency.
