Meditation: Is logic an ontologically basic thing?

Edit: I accidentally quoted myself as well.

Perhaps I should ask what are one or more differences between an example where logic is ontologically basic and an example where logic isn't, other than the "ontologically basic" tag?

For example, is it something like this?

In Ontologically Basic Logic, the answer to the Paradox of the Stone is "That is a Paradox." In Non-Ontologically Basic Logic, the answer to the Paradox of the Stone is "Yes."

I really don't actually know if that is an example of the differences which is why I am asking to check. It may be something else entirely.
