I will respond to this when I have more time tomorrow but, basically,
I am a Platonist or Spinozist and I think logic as being of
metamathematics (the math about math). Furthermore, Fuzzy Logic is
simply a generalization of logic. I do believe that FL (Fuzzy Logic)
has the potential as providing interesting examples of mathematical
structures that Tegmark mentions in his recent Mathematical Universe
Hypothesis paper.
You see a lot of logic, ie, metamathematics, in his "beyond the
standard model" papers, and I think there is a connection to the Greek
schools of thought.
While the MUH is just a hypothesis, it is the one I personally guess,
for want of better term, is correct.
The issues is that experimental evidence has not (and can not?)
confirm or deny the MUH. To me, that is not a problem. I think we
can tell about the universe in science, philosophy, and mathematics.
Just different parts and different questions are better suited to each
discipline.
However, if the MUH is true, then the deepest nature of the universe
is a mathematical inquiry rather than a physics inquiry.
Any other questions, like for clarification about my ideas, and
especially if you spot errors in my reasoning regarding the link in my
first post, please feel free to pull no analytical punches as that's
the only way to improve.
Thanks
