Hello Rabbi Michi!
1. What is meta-halakhah?
2. If God created the laws of logic, does that necessarily mean that He is subject to them?
3. What are the halachic prohibitions of the mitzvah not to wear? The question arose for me because the Shulchan Aruch (Yod. 15:11) writes that a man is forbidden to look in a mirror, but today it is permitted.

  1. Issues that deal with the way Halacha operates and questions that deal with the assumptions that underlie various laws and Halacha in general.
  2. I didn’t understand this oxymoron. One could ask whether he created the laws and whether he is subject to them or not. But because he created them, is he subject to them? If anything, then because he created them, he is not subject to them. For the actual question, see this article of mine https://mikyab.net/%d7%9b%d7%aa%d7%91%d7%99%d7%9d/%d7%9e%d7%90%d7%9e%d7%a8%d7%99%d7%9d/%d7%a2%d7%9c-%d7%aa%d7%95%d7%a8%d7%aa-%d7%94%d7%a7%d7%9 5%d7%95%d7%a0%d7%98%d7%99%d7%9d-%d7%95%d7%98%d7%a2%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%90%d7%9e%d7%95%d7%a0%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%a1%d7%aa%d7%99%d7%a8%d7%aa%d7%99 and many other places on the site.

3. According to the accepted norms in the place and time in which the conversation is between reasonable people.
