Logic and the world

Hello Rabbi. I have a somewhat stupid question, but I’m still asking.
We (most people) believe that the world must be in a “logical state” (my concept), that is, reality cannot be in logical contradiction and must act according to logical inference (if the premises are true, then the conclusion is true). Now how do we know that reality must be in a “logical state” and not that we alone cannot speak of an illogical reality because our perception is limited?

What answer do you expect? Any answer I give you that you might wonder about may also be just a product of my way of thinking. There is no answer to skeptical questions. It’s kind of like asking why the truth of a claim means it’s true.

It might be worth reading my article on logical contradictions. There I show that a logical law is not like a physical law. But neither did it enact it. It is true from within itself. Therefore, even the Creator is "subject" to it.
