The principle of explosion would says that (a) and (b)
proves that the Moon is made from green cheese.
Whereas the intersection of the sets specified by
(a) and (b) is the empty set, thus derives no conclusion.

No. It doesn't say that. Given a contradiction (I'll use A & ¬A), the principle of explosion says that for any statement X, "A & ¬A therefore
X" is a *valid* argument.
To *prove* a statement, the statement needs to appear as the conclusion
to a *sound* argument (being valid is necessary but not sufficient), and
the principle of explosion does *not* claim that your hypothetical
argument is sound.

Nope, it establishes that some Dogs are not Dogs. That is a FULL
"semantic" reasoning from the premises.
This comes because the cats that are the "Some Cats" in (b), MUST BE, by
(a) Dogs, so we can conclude that Those Dogs are Not Dogs.
In other words, it proves the system is inconsistant.

"The moon is made from green cheese" is a necessary consequence of "all

It is not true that anything is semantically entailed by any

the law of non-contradiction. For analytical truth coherence is the
