A standard grounded in human conceptual non-contradiction would make modal facts dependent on human cognition, violating Descartes' doctrine that eternal truths are created by God independently of any mind.

Conceptual non-contradiction(in logic and philosophy of language): The idea that something is true or possible as long as it doesn't contradict itself in our thinking; no logical inconsistency.
Dependent on human cognition(in epistemology): Relying on or determined by what human minds think, understand, or believe—not existing independently of human thought.
Descartes: # Descartes René Descartes was a French philosopher and mathematician from the 1600s who fundamentally changed how people think about knowledge and the mind. He's famous for the idea "I think, therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum), which means that the very fact that you can think proves you exist—a foundation for modern philosophy. He also invented the coordinate system used in mathematics (the x and y axes on a graph), which connects geometry and algebra in practical ways we still use today.
Descartes' doctrine that eternal truths are created by God(in metaphysics and philosophy of language): Descartes' specific belief that mathematical and logical truths (like 'two plus two equals four') were freely created by God's will, not discovered by human minds.
