From what I gather based on the VS Battle Wiki FAQ is that something is considered High 1-A+ if it applies either the classic three laws of thought or a "weaker" form of logic, i.e. a form of logic that has less rules or restrictions, whereas a "stronger" form of logic within a verse would disqualify said verse from ever having High 1-A+. My question is then, what are examples of "weaker" and "stronger" forms of logic compared to Classical Logic?
How would that jive with, say, German Idealism or Hegelianism specifically? Because the Law of Identity, Law of Non-Contradiction, and Law of Excluded Middle amount to A = A, ~(A & ~A), and A v ~A respectively, yet Hegelianism is an example of a set of logic that stresses contradiction, identity in difference, and synthesis. I am not sure if that would necessarily render a "stronger" (i.e. more restrictive) or "weaker" (i.e. less restrictive) system of logic. Some might say that this is not a big issue since essentially all verses are either rooted in bivalent classical logic or they can be assumed to be that case automatically, but there are arguably works of fiction that do draw philosophical themes and logic from individuals such as Hegel and Lacan (e.g. a thing can be both itself and not be itself), which is the case in works such as The Star Maker and Xenogears.
We've come a long way since classical logic, having developed such non-classical logics as Dialectical Logic, Paraconsistent logic, Many-valued logic, and Quantum Logic, so where do all of these belong? Because even if we assume the average work of fiction defers to classical logic, that still does not tell us what to do with works that reject Aristotelianism as either static or incomplete.
