In this context, the word "belonging" implies ownership. "Correctness" cannot own something. Logic cannot own something. This sentence is meaningless.

Correctness  is not the master of anything. This sentence too is meaningless.

 

The problem is that you are using metaphors. Metaphors are tools of rhetoric, not tools of logic.
