my issue is more deeply rooted. Linear logic depends on a given true, this works fine in mathematics, computer science, and physical sciences, where assumptions are made, but resultant conclusions are void if assumptions are false, but when attempted to be wielded by philosophers said assumptions seem to be made desperately, and all attempts to challenge an assumption are met with desperate shouting and intentional deafness.

As I said before, you may not find it convincing, but it is at least an interesting attempt. I'd suggest "Reality: A Thomistic Synthesis" for a general overview.
