The mistaken belief that every human concern can and should be reduced to logical form—that emotions, values, relationships, and experiences are all subject to the same rules as formal logic. This fallacy ignores that much of human life is not logical in the formal sense, and that trying to make it so distorts and diminishes it. Love doesn't follow syllogisms; grief doesn't obey modus ponens; art doesn't submit to validity tests. The hyper-logification fallacy is beloved of engineers, philosophers, and anyone who has ever tried to argue someone into love. It's the logic of "if you loved me, you'd do X," which confuses logical implication with emotional reality.
