Abstract logic

Okay, imagine you have a bunch of different shapes - squares, circles, triangles - and you want to categorize them based on certain rules. For example, you might say that any shape with four equal sides is a square, and any shape with three sides is a triangle. This is called logic - using rules to sort things into groups.

Now, imagine that instead of just shapes, you're trying to sort different ideas or concepts. This is where abstract logic comes in. It's like a big puzzle where you have to figure out how different ideas connect and relate to each other. You use rules, just like with the shapes, but they might be more complex.

For example, you could have a rule that says "if A is true, and B is false, then C must be true". This means that if you know A is true and B is false, you can definitely say that C is true as well. Abstract logic helps you figure out these kinds of relationships between concepts and ideas.

It's a bit like playing detective, trying to piece together clues to solve a puzzle - except the puzzle is all in your head, and the pieces are ideas and concepts instead of physical objects. And just like with puzzles, not everyone is good at abstract logic - but it's a very useful skill to have.
