   structural analysis. Feeling is emphasized in art, religion and spirituality;   
   analysis in logic, mathematics and science.

   mathematical relationships. In fact, if quantum physicists delve deep enough   
   into the functions of matter, our notion of logic breaks down so completely   
   that the fabric of time    
   and space cease to exist as anything we can recognize as physical reality.   
      
   Mathematics of quantum mechanics is precise, but it doesn't allow us to derive   
   (predict) the outcome of a measurement from prior conditions, only possible   
   outcomes and their probabilities. Many-worlds interpretation says that all   
   possible outcomes are    
   real but we don't know which outcome exists in that part of reality in which   
   we live. We simply have to look around (interact with our environment) to find   
   that out. You may know the whole reality but in order to find out where you   
   are placed in reality    
   and which person is you, you have to look around.   
      
   Spacetime may fluctuate or be twisted all it wants but in the end it is still   
   a precisely defined mathematical structure and logic doesn't break down. Logic   
   is simply non-contradiction. If logic broke down, it wouldn't break down, see?
