I've recently found that thinking about emotions as states and myself/others as state machines (look up at youtube wikipedia whatever) is a great approximation sometimes. First of all, if you're fuckin pissed or whatever, it helps to think that it's just a state.
But most of all it adds a dimension beyond logic. We are so fixated to logic/science in our argumentation and our lives. State machines are logical but imo they can describe the mind pretty well which doesnt need to be logical at all. A bridge so to say.

Schopenhauer's The World As Will and Idea goes into something similar, the distortion of perception by what we want to see. I first confirmed that when, coming off a freeway, I wanted the first stop to be where I could make a right turn on red when I clearly saw the sign saying that the desired intersection was the second stop.

It's really interesting. I was going to create a quite similar topic, but with some different conclusions.
All I can say now is that a) we can't claim about logic beyond it, because the nature of logic is what we describe, not invent, b) qualitative nature seems to be very close to senses, while quantitative – tied with mind ability strictly.
Briefly, the geometry can be problematized as something that united qualitative and quantitative human sides. Maybe the geometry of the nature (if there is the one) hasn't been discovered as its true view yet.
