Somebody like Richard McKeon reflects on this in his account of Aristotle. Then, "paraconsistent" or "non-classical logics" have that the di-aletheic is just an account of a setting for resolving inductive paradox, not accommodating it. I.e., when "non-classical" or "synthetic" or "pluralistic" logics are mutually inconsistent, they're mutually inconsistent. I've never accepted material implication since Philo and Plotinus, and direct implication from the likes of Augustus de Morgan is quite suitable for all logical purposes. So, here there's a principle of inversion, sort of like what's suggested by the recent talk about Prawitz and inversion principle, and not tertium-non-datur and excluded-middle, since there are non-binary propositions, and the account of weighing alternatives itself is tertium-datur. Then, there's a principle of thorough reason, beyond a principle of "sufficient" reason, that like inverse subsumes and is sublime, per Kant, for non-contradiction, then the thorough is: sufficient. So, I remove the "quasi-modal" from classical logic, and explosion goes with it.
