“Ethnomethodology” is basically the empirical study of rationality, both informal and formal, considered as an embodied, situated, material, social and cultural activity. Unfortunately it has its own jargon plus methodological issues; but seems directly relevant to your work.

Two authors I wanted to draw your attention to, Eric Livingston (PhD in math as well as one in ethno) and Ken Liberman. https://www.une.edu.au/staff-profiles/psychology/elivings … https://sociology.uoregon.edu/profile/liberman/ …

Livingston’s interest is in proving as a social activity. He has a 2008 book about this which I have not (yet) read, _Ethnographies of Reason_.pic.twitter.com/UFOZ7sCs5L

Liberman has types of studies that may be of interest. Some are on on a Tibetan system of formal logic, which is performed as public debate in a highly-constrained logical format, but with combative dance moves—sort of a cross between analytic philosophy & capoeira.pic.twitter.com/rg5HxONwcc

The logic is essentially syllogistic and not massively different from Western pre-Frege, but different enough in its elaborations on syllogism to show how formal logic is a cultural product. The stuff reads very much like analytic philosophy, but as a rhythmic rap battle.pic.twitter.com/kWGYoiMOOV
