This world was given logic and regularity by some other force, which Berkeley did his best to conclude was a God. Berkeley did this by suggesting that "Ideas can only resemble Ideas" - the mental ideas that we possessed could only resemble other ideas (not physical objects) and thus the external world consisted not of physical form, but rather ideas.
