How shall the regions and limits of application of the Laws of Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle be fixed?
Scientific, philosophical, social, and aesthetic advancements have continuously been made in epochal revolutions and minor changes within epochs. What has / have been the logical background spine behind these changes in terms of logical threshold revolutions during all these millennia?
I do not think that scientific, philosophical, and aesthetic revolutions have not used the foundations of ordinary logic. In this case, the old foundations of logic, especially the Laws of Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle, have more or less been used all through these revolutions and changes – both theoretically and practically. The revolutionary achievements in all the human institutions have used them, let alone ordinary conversations and daily thoughts and feelings in human life.
But it is also a fact that time and again the new scientific, philosophical, and aesthetic revolutions have attempted to seek and create new forms of logic. These have been created and developed. This is why we have many forms of logic today.
But have they ever been able to overcome the Laws of Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle? Even when the specific logic is considered counterfactual, non-causal, non-classically non-ordinary, etc., their specific foundations have been borne out through the use exclusively of the Laws of Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle. This is because any statement, even if it yields only a truth probability, must be considered as true or false before approaching the next step to moving to conclusions.
How then shall the regions and limits of application of the Laws of Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle be fixed?

I have been revising this short discussion paper of mine in RG. It is an attempt to correct some basic attitudes in physics. Just now I have written an introduction to it. Please read it here. In a few days I shall upload the whole lead-text of this discussion for your reading and comments. Here please find only the introduction:
FOUNDATIONS OF AXIOMATIC PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE
1. INTRODUCTION
I get surprised each time when some physicists tell me that either the electromagnetic (EM) or the gravitational (G) or both the forms of energy do not exist, but are to be treated or expressed as waves or particles propagated from material objects that of course exist. Some of them put in all their energies to show that both EM and G are mere mathematical fields, and not physically existent fields of energy propagations from bodies.
This is similar in effect to Newton and his followers thinking honestly and religiously that gravitation and other energies are just miraculously non-bodily actions at a distance without any propagation particles / wavicles.
Even in the 21stcentury, we must be sharply aware that from the past more than 120 years the General Theory of Relativity and its various versions have succeeded in casting and maintaining the power of a terrifying veil of mathematical miracles on the minds of many scientists – miracles such as the mere spacetime curvature being the meaning of gravitation and all other sorts of fields.
A similar veil has been installed on the minds of many physicists by quantum physics too. We do not discuss it here. Hence, I have constructed in four published books a systemic manner of understanding these problems. I do not claim perfection in any of my attempts. Hence, I keep perfecting my efforts in the course of years. The following is a very short attempt to summarize in this effort one important point in physics and in the philosophy of physics.

Actually, logic is derived from set theory

In my opinion, this is difficult to accept. Set theory began existing a few hundred years ago. Logic as a formulated method of thought existed at least from the time of Aristotle. But as argumentation theory logic existed at least from the time of Socrates. I am now speaking of logic, and not set theorz. But you may argue that even set theory existed in this manner. True. But the basic principles of logic have been used in such elementary set theory too. Not vice versa. In that case, which is more primary? Basic set theory or basic logic?
Now, if you derive mathematical logic from mathematical set theory without using logical principles, I would like to know how.
