1. You forget that those laws of logic are based upon assertions made by pagans and religious people. Islamic philosophy contributed alot to algebra and logic. They are literally grounded in assumptions.
2. And those 7 views can be reduced to one view as a set of laws which cycle through eachother...still left with one perspective. And the procedure for how they are distilled is not clarified.
3. You can hold P and -P to be true in the same perspective:
((P=P)=(-P=-P)) is required for both P and -P to exist.
But this necessitates that P=-P through the law of identity.
((P=P)=(-P=-P)) is valid, but P=-P is not valid, but P and -P can only exist if and only if they are subject to the laws of identity.
P=P is necessary for P and -P=-P is necessary for -P.
A contradiction in the laws occurs.

I did not state ((P=P)
=(-P=-P)).
But your logic still requires this contradiction, it doesn't matter if it states it or not if you continue then you are eventually bound by it.
Nope.
There is no contradiction as long as we do not insist they are the same within the same perspective. I differentiated the perspective.
I stated;
- View 1 = (P=P) +
View 2 = (-P=-P) +
I stated and individual can hold both views at the same time in mind but cannot apply them in the same perspective.
I have given the example, a person who know basic Science, will agree diamond and pure charcoal are different in forms in ordinary perception, but they are both the same if we
shift perspective on the basis of the periodic table.
And what is ordinary perception considering what is seen, is always in the past due to light waves and is always compare to prior images in the memory.
This is a matter of perspective.
So there is no issue if we qualify the perspective precisely.
Note in one perspective, re MAYA, "all there is" i.e. reality is an illusion is true [P].
But it would be stupid to stick to just this perspective.
Thus we must justify from
another perspective P is not true [not-P].
Thus the person hold two different views [p and -p] at the same time in his mind but in different perspectives.
Actually if I look at both a piece of charcoal and a diamond under a microscope so they both appear as carbon...one can see two different things as the same thing. It is context which differentiates them and context is made up. You can make all the distinctions you want, but you are just going through the same contextual loop of "analysis".
Yes it is all about context, i.e. as I had stated 'perspectives'.
Yes, in the above shifted perspective to atom we will see two separate clusters of carbon atoms.
But if we shift to the perspective of energy and waves there is no more distinction on that soup of where the energy, electrons, particles interchange all the time.
If we shift the wave collapse functions, for the original diamond and charcoal, we will perceive things as alternating between as wave and as particle depending on the circumstances.
So the point is empirical reality is all about perspective & context.
There is no looping 'analysis' rather it is within one's consciousness and rationality to shift to the relevant perspective.
What cannot be done and is impossible is for a human individual to insist there are perfect independent things [empirical and others] that are not subjected to the above perspectives.
What the ANEKANTAVADA support is;
- View 1. P
View 2. Not-P
View 3-7 ...
Both the above held within a person are valid but perspectival or contextual;.
Thus,
- View 1. God exists as real.
View 2. God do not exists as real
I can agree both the above a valid by themselves but we have to qualify the perspective or context.
View 1. God exists are real is conditioned upon the psychological.
View 2. God can not exists as real within sensibility + rationality + philosophically.
The above premises need to be supported by detail justifications [has done in other threads].
