The universe is painted with constants and limits to the laws of which it is governed. Positive attract is negative, and positive cannot attract another positive. Yet man can imagine a world where like charges attract, and alternate repel. Man can comprehend the impossible, and form ideas that can never exist. Man is not limited in the extent of is cognitive creation. We form new ideas and thoughts that the universe can't. We can form ideas and realities that can never even hope to exist. Therefore could this imply that our minds are not governed by the same laws of the universe. Does our very ability to think and be wrong denote our incoherency of universal laws. Under this logic, chaos theory is not possible, for the human mind is not entirely of this universe

>Man is not limited in the extent of is cognitive creation.

Concepts like 'a world where positive attracts positive,' 'a being that is half man and half horse,' and 'a world where everyone is nice to each other' are still pretty firmly inspired by reality, they just take one aspect of reality and either negate it or combine it with another aspect of reality to make a hybrid. This doesn't really prove that man can imagine anything, just that he can combine and flip around concepts inspired by reality.

How about the chimp mind. How about the bonobo mind. How about the toucan mind

Bonobos can't think of abstract concepts like calculus while we can.
