Mathematics and Logic form the underlying rules of order for the universe. Similar to time, these inevitable concepts exist outside of the physical universe, yet every movement of every atom is governed by them.

Transcendent Logic

Math and logic are inevitable, in that it is impossible to conceive of a universe that does not abide by their rules.

Given these properties of math and logic, many theologians have attributed the transcendent aspect of god to them. If god is not logic itself, logic is almost always a property of god. [1][2][3]

The principles of math and logic, as well as emergence, can be thought of as the transcendent aspect of a pantheistic or panentheist god, in that they exist within the materialist concept of the universe, play an essential role in creation and evolution, but are not matter or energy, nor are they supernatural. In metaculture, this is represented by the fractal.

What If You Hate Math?

Hate math and want to turn it against itself? See Gödel.

Logical Fallacies

Understanding the common logical fallacies used in debate will help you maintain your sanity should you participate in social media, or even an old fashioned face-to-face conversation.

See the Critical thinking page for more on logical fallacies and cognitive bias.

This is a trailer for a course on logic, but it really nails the wonder and importance of the subject.
