  "content": "Infinite Cause, the Dynamic Reality, and the Axiom of Logic by Maclain Hunter:\n\nDefinitions (Terms):\n\nAxiom: A self-evident, fundamental principle that serves as the starting point for logical reasoning.\n\nCoherence: The quality of being logically integrated and unified, without any contradictions.\n\nSelf: The \"Universal Self\" or the \"Being of Reality\" - the fundamental Essence of existence. The “Object of Introspection” and the locus of reflexive action.\n\nInfinite Cause: The ultimate, uncaused cause of all existence.\n\nDynamic Reality: The ever-changing, ever-evolving Reality (Rationality) that the Universe logically equates to.\n\nLogic: The Fundamental Principle of (coherent) Reason and reasoning.\n\nLaw of Identity: The core logical principle that states that \"A is A\" - a thing is identical to itself.\n\nPremises (Inputs): {P, Q, R}:\n\nP: Logic’s axiom is “Coherence with Logic (mandatory)”. This can be represented and “f(x)” where f and x are defined as “logically consistent and fully coherent Logic” (Reason and reasoning that never contradicts itself). \n\nQ: The Self (the Infinite Cause) must be the Self (the Dynamic Reality). Let S represent “Self” (as in the “Universal Self” and the “Being of Reality”) while IC represents “Infinite Cause” and DR represents “Dynamic Reality”. Then the following Logic holds: IC(S) -> DR(S), IC(S) = DR(S), (DR <-> IC) <-> (S <-> S)\n\nR: Coherence by definition refers to logical identity and consistency - thus Logic in general - as well as the quality of having a logically integrated and unified whole. Coherence/Logic can be algebraically represented as “x == x” and logically as “A is A” (the Law of Identity). Let C represent Coherence, let L represent Logic, and let I represent the Law of Identity. Then the following Logic holds: {C, L, I} |= (C <-> L) <-> I\n\nFormal Argument (Proof): \n\n{P, Q, R} |= (P <-> Q) <-> R\n\nConclusion (Output): \n\n{P, Q, R}: Coherence and Logic are coherent by definition and as a matter of logical necessity, and the Law of Identity is coherent with Coherence and Logic. The Universe is a Logical Being (a “Self”) that is what it is, and which is what it is according to itself, which encompasses all things including the Infinite Cause of Existence and the Dynamic Reality of Logic that it equates to and realizes.\n\nTruth Table: \n\nvalid\n    ↓ ↓ ↓      ↓  \nPQR⎪P Q R╞(P↔Q)↔R\n――――――――――――――――――\nTTT⎪T T T  TTT TT\nTTF⎪T T F  TTT FF\nTFT⎪T F T  TFF FT\nTFF⎪T F F  TFF TF\nFTT⎪F T T  FFT FT\nFTF⎪F T F  FFT TF\nFFT⎪F F T  FTF TT\nFFF⎪F F F  FTF FF\n\n\n",
