Logic, a definition

To define is to understand...

My look on logic and how we use it.

The humand mind use a system with gives "value" to information.
When we talk about this value, it is allways in relation to what we are talking about.
When talking logic one can use this "value" to grade statements.

"High" value statements is called "logical" statements.
"Low" value statements is called "illogical" statements.
"Max" value statements is called "true" statements.
"Minimum" value statements is called "false" statements.

High or low value is somthing that varies from person to person.
As such it can be difficult (if not impossible) to come to agreement with another person as to what is logical.
"Arguing" logic is only reasonable using max (or minimum) value statements.
You can use high value statement to work out other "logical" statements, but you can not say that logic tell...that this information is true.
To do that we have to agree to a reference frame for which to dicuss the statement. This "frame of reference" must be a max (or minimum) value statement.

This is the basic definition as i see it.

Anyone who want to discuss this?
