Theory of Constructed Logic and Reason

A metalogical and infralogical framework holding that logic and reason are not timeless, universal givens but are constructed through human practices, languages, and social agreements. It draws on infralogic (the infrastructure of logic) and meta‑reason (reason about reason) to show that what counts as “logical” depends on historically and culturally specific frameworks, institutional training, and linguistic structures. Different communities develop different norms of inference, different tolerance for paradox, and different standards for what constitutes a good argument. The theory does not claim that anything goes, but that the “goes” is always a product of construction, not a reflection of a pre‑existing logical order.

Example: “The theory of constructed logic and reason explained why ancient Greek logic differed from classical Indian logic—not because one was correct and the other mistaken, but because each was constructed within different philosophical, linguistic, and pedagogical contexts.”
