Ever since the start of time, man has always been surrounded by logic (time and logic seems to have coexisted) — it exists all around us, and is all encompassing.

There is implicit logic in all human and natural activity—right from the primary level of logic seen in our day-to-day lives to its very advanced form which operates the machines & tools we use for our day-to-day work. Every subject we study, every product we build, every activity we undertake is guided by its own inherent logic.

For instance, when faced with the situation of starting a car, switching on an electric appliance like an electric bulb, etc. we use logic inherently. In fact, it would be difficult to imagine life today without even a thought on most of the logical structures that we use inherently.
