And the law of noncontradiction. Something cannot be true at the same time it is false or vice versa
I am tall. I am short. Being realtive terms, even though they contradtict each other, both could be TRUE, both could be FALSE. One could be TRUE and one FALSE.
1. On a pygmy scale - I am tall (TRUE).
2. On a basketball-player scale - I am short (TRUE).
1. Is TRUE on scale #1 while it is FALSE at the same time per scale #2.
2. Is TRUE on scale #2 while it is FALSE at the same time per scale #1.

Anyways, it is a fantasy construct of mind.The Law of Non-Contradiction is Indemonstrable
The law of non-contradiction is indemonstrable (neither verifiable nor falsifiable) in that anyone who attempts to disprove it must use the law itself, and thus beg the question. In this way it can be said to be undeniable, that is, literally impossible to deny. The law is impossible to prove for the same reason, since one has to use the law to prove the law, and this is a circular argument.
