the modalities of human thought and the structure of the universe? There wouldn't be any reason to make that connection, except that thoughts of rational minds, human or otherwise would be a natural function of the universe like combining two Hs and an O to make a water molecule. Logic is not founded on modes of rational thought.

Logic is not founded on modes of rational thought. So on what is it founded? I mean, we humans trust it (and depend on it for our own survival) A LOT.
Why??? What "validates" logic that we humans should trust it so?
