A logical framework so diffuse, so unconstrained, so free-floating that it barely qualifies as logic at all—yet somehow still produces conclusions. Gaseous system logic expands to fill any conceptual space, seeps through any boundary, surrounds any issue with an atmosphere of seeming reason that's impossible to grab hold of. This is the logic of pundits who sound profound while saying nothing, of corporate mission statements that mean everything and nothing, of that friend who can argue any side with equal conviction. Gaseous system logic is impossible to refute because it has no fixed claims—it's all atmosphere, no substance.
Example: "The CEO's vision statement was pure gaseous system logic—'We're creating value through synergistic innovation while leveraging our core competencies to optimize stakeholder outcomes.' It sounded impressive, meant nothing, and couldn't be challenged because there was nothing to grab onto. Employees nodded, pretended to understand, and went back to work, surrounded by gas."
