soundness of LEM depends on
where one originates the
source of mathematics
I disagree!
One of Goedel's many great contributions was the double-negation translation (later refined by others), and what it does is show that (simplifying a bit) intuitionistic logic and classical logic are equiconsistent!
In other words: any contradiction you can derive in classical logic, you can convert into a contradiction in intuitionistic logic. (The reverse direction is trivial because all intuitionistic proof principles are also classical.)
