No they don't. Objects don't have properties of truth and falsehood.
Truth and falsehood are functions not of objects but on the frameworks
within which objects are presented.

I said *IN LOGIC*, DUMBASS.

No, it makes no difference whether objects are in or out of logic, X, or banana-matuzi-wallop land. They don't have properties. Period.

THAT IMPLIES that THESE objects ARE being presented IN A FRAMEWORK
OF LOGIC,

No it doesn't imply anything. Certainly not for some wished for logic-agogo land where everything is put right by definition.


THAT DOES impute truth and falsity TO THEM, TO THE OBJECTS.

No. P says P. P is true/false says P and not-P.

Obviously, if we were in a different framework, then we would be
dealing with
DIFFERENT objects.

No we wouldn't. WE would be dealing with incommensurable objects('s').
