[MD] Reet and the Weakest Link

I don't get it. How is a logical contradiction only apparent or illusory and how does it exist in perception. Leaving aside Ham's essentialism, I really don't understand what the tetralemma means. I'm not even sure where the logic is located in it. Break it down for me, will you?

Ron replied:
OR -experience does not arise from logic, logic arises from experience.

dmb says:
Right. I agree with this conclusion but I understand it in terms of John Dewey's philosophy and in terms of the MOQ. What I don't understand is how we get from the tetralemma to that conclusion. It looks something like a five-part dilemma where each premise is related to the others, but I don't see how they add up. 

Also, it feels like being dropped into the middle of a conversation, like it is a response to Aristotle's logic. But I don't see how the form of this argument works. I don't see how the logic works, how one progresses through the five steps. Without some kind of context or explanation, each premise looks like naked assertion. 

Can you walk me through it? How do you get to the conclusion from there?


Ron:
Dave I think it is a response to Aristotle's analytic.
. Nāgārjuna was born around ( 150 - 250 CE) well after the 
conquests of Macedonia. He was born in India and used
the indo-European family of semetic language. 
The teralemma is used to illustrate to those who can't escape
Logic in all it's forms, about the intellectualization
of cause. Cause is dependant and relational
and his logicical tetralemma is used to 
"logically" arrive at this conclusion.
It is a systematic relation about
systematic relationships.
In Jamesian terms, it's logic is radical
it’s meaning is radical and is understood
by it's usefulness but even this is
ultimately "empty" of "true" meaning
because even usefulness is dependant
and relational.
