Are there basic assumptions of logic and logical fallacies? For example, science has at least 3 basic assumptions that its built upon and they are:

1- There are natural causes for things that happen in the world around us.

2- Evidence from the natural world can be used to learn about those causes.

3- There is consistency in the causes that operate in the natural world.

So, I was wondering what the basic assumptions are for logic and logical fallacies?

Besides the laws of logic, I don't know of any assumptions unique to logic or fallacies.

Logical fallacies make the following assumption as far as I can tell.

1. Conclusions follow from premises independently of subjectivity.

Logic gets into trouble when this is not the case.
