All of our deductive reasoning is founded in induction. For example, the basis of all arithmetic is physics analogies regarding things that exist and the understanding that a thing implies another thing is not based in deduction. Similarly, I suspect from my own experience that general reasoning requires a basic understanding of physics if its origin isn't something ineffable. The ability to connect and find implications cannot itself be purely deductive and it would seem to me that an understanding of physical reality would have to be the origin for that ability.
