To provide the logic, you need to gives the axioms to which the B,
O, [], etc. obey, and you should provide semantics, and make clear
the relation between the symbols, and the reality you are betting
on, as this would be an exercise in applied logic. An expression
like "natural selection" presuppose a lot, including quite
different possibilities.
It is pretty much the project of William S. Cooper in his book "The
Origin of Reason" to explain how logic, mathematics, and decision
theory would have developed by evolutionary processes.
It is very interesting, but this evolution occur at some level, and
explain naturally the human reason. But it presuppose that nature acts
rationally before the human were there. Then comp can explain where
nature's reason come from. That occurs at a different level.
