Logical Metaparadigm Theory

The study of the most fundamental stances one can take toward the entire enterprise of logic. It asks: Is logic a description of the structure of reality, a prescription for correct thinking, or merely a useful convention? Paradigms here include realism (logic discovers mind-independent truths), conventionalism (logic is a set of human conventions), and psychologism (logic is derived from the laws of thought). Your logical metaparadigm is your philosophy of logic.
Logical Metaparadigm Theory Example: A Logical Realist believes that the Law of Non-Contradiction (nothing can be both true and false) is a bedrock fact about the universe. A Logical Conventionalist sees it as a useful rule we've agreed to play by, like the rules of chess. Their Logical Metaparadigm determines whether they think logic is discovered or invented.

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.
Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
