Eh? Mathematics happens in your sixth sense.

If logic is relative then it is true under some contexts but not in others. These prior statements are logical forms, i.e. 'if a is b and b is c then a is c' and 'if a then b', thus the statements are not universally true as they are relative. A self-contradiction occurs as the statement is true under certain contexts, false in other contexts, but both true and false in light of all contexts.

The problem occurs as the statements 'logic is dependent upon forms' and 'forms are relative' are true statements universally as they can be repeatably verified empirically (i.e. we can see forms in all logic and we can also see that forms are relative as they compare and contrast to other forms).

Under these terms correct abstractions and correct empirical observations contradict.
Delusion arises from the belief that logic actually refers to the physical realm of the senses. Thought is a non-physical realm ("mind") that is not causally related to the physical realm. The shift from paying attention to sensations to paying attention to thoughts, is the goal of Maya, and her tool is symbol and language.
What gives you the impression that thought is non-physical? Thought is a description of the structure and behavior of a physical object- the brain.
