The sword logic is how individual Hive grow in power. In essence, by killing their enemies, the Hive prove that they were stronger than that enemy, and through the sword logic gain that strength in reality.

Repeated application of the sword logic causes the wielder to gradually become "self-defining" and "sharp": both no longer bound by physical laws and capable of outright violating them at will.
