Logical or physical avoidance?

peace,
Is the writing on the tablets, according to the interpretation of the Sages, which was engraved all the way to the end so that the Sma’ach and the M’am would finally stand in a miracle, and at the same time “written on both sides”, a logical or merely physical avoidance?
As in, “The place of the ark is not within the measure” and “They stand crowded together and bow widely,” etc.
If possible, explain how to distinguish between the avoidances.

Excellent question. As a general rule, any claim about the world is a physical, not a logical, omission. I have argued this in several columns, for example 50.

Is that what you mean?

It seems that the article was cut off before the end.

Anyway, before I read the above column in depth, I didn't really understand what you wrote, is a triangle with four sides a “claim about the world” or not?

You added two words. It doesn't matter to the content. Read there.

I also read it and I think I understood it (I hope).
Nevertheless, for clarification, I will ask what, according to the Rabbi, is considered a logical negation, if anything. The famous examples of a square whose diagonal is equal to its side and so on - is this negation from God or not?

If we maintain Euclidean space.
