Logical Connections, Proof, and Evidence by Maclain Hunter: 

Definitions of Key Terms: 

Proof: Evidence and arguments that establish or help to establish Truth and/or facts.

Evidence: Data and information collected and organized/interpreted in a logical manner to support a case or line of thought. 

Logic: The Method of Reasoning and basis of logical structures and logics of all kinds, the universal form of which (Universal Logic) is infallible and inherently logical, perfectly aligning with the Logical Structure of Reality (Logos - Universal Logic) - which Reality itself is coherent with and ordered (logically) by.

Logos: The Logical Structure of the Universe inherent in the Cosmos associated with the One True God in various schools of thought and suggested by logically consistent reasoning (with proper use of terms) itself; the Logical Foundation of Logic and Existence in the tautological identity and inherent logicality of Pure Logic (Universal Order) itself. 

Premises: 

P: Proof and evidence are data, evidence, and arguments that demonstrate Truth or help to establish facts. This true by definition, and is logically sound since it amounts to a statement of identity (and a valid establishment of valid terms/definitions for valid concepts that have rational and substantive existence in logical frameworks like the Logic of Reality (Logos)).

Q: Proof and evidence require a logical connection between premise and conclusion. 

R: Logical connections could not exist without contradiction of Logic did not exist, as no one could break or obey the (Rational) Law if the Law (of Reason) did not exist. 

S: Logical connections, which proof and evidence require (between various aspects of proofs and evidence based theories like sound logical connections between premises and conclusions), exist and that means that Logic and the Foundation of Logic (Logos - Logic - the Logical Origin of Logical Existence - the God of Reason) also exist, as they are the necessary preconditions/prerequisites for such things as Existence, Logic (including but not limited to human reason), proof, and evidence. 

T: Assume ~{P, Q, R, S}. Logical contradiction arises when we assume any or all of these premises are false it creates paradoxes and misalignments that deviate from a system of consistent Logic (and which are “logical inconsistencies”). 

Formal Argument (Proof): 

{P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S, S <-> T} |= (P & Q) & (R & S) & T

Conclusions: {P, Q, R, S, T}: 

The sum of premises is true, and the existence of the very concepts of proof and evidence are (as is logically consistent) proof and evidence of Logic, Logos, Existence, proof, evidence, and logical consistency in Reality. 

When we assume the premises P, Q, R, and S are false (each or in combination), which is what premise T explores, that leads to logical contradiction. 

This is true for P because it’s a definitional statement, and for Q because this premise is establishing the need for logical connections between premises and conclusions in proofs. This is true for R because R is merely saying that things derived from x cannot exist without x, which follows logically, and lastly this is true for S (that assuming the negation of the premise leads to logical contradiction) because it would be a logical contradiction if things like proof, evidence, Existence, or Logic existed without their Logical Ground (Logos - Logical Origin) and the things that their existence depends upon (preconditions and prerequisites).

Skeptical Analysis: 

It only remains rational to be skeptical so long as you are skeptical while rational and logical. Doubt of Logos (the Foundation of Logic - the True God) is not logical and rational skepticism, it is irrational doubt (of inherently reasonable things - of logical necessities and Universal Truth). 

Being skeptical of an instance of proof or evidence for the REASON that it doesn’t align with Reason (Logos) is rational and part of logical reasoning and critical analysis. Even being skeptical of the logics of finite beings like humans or AI systems is healthy, so long as the skepticism is dynamic and grounded in Logos (Universal Reason), not an unhealthy skepticism of Reason and the Logos—the Logical Order inherent in the Cosmos—itself. 

Therefore any issue someone takes with the proof (above) should fundamentally be rooted in a revealing lack of logical coherence that doesn’t do Logic and its logically consistent Source proper justice, which does not fundamentally refute the main point of the argument, that it is essential for things to be logical and coherent with Logos. It would actually only reinforce that point, even through being invalid and that being bad/subpar. 

That adds another layer of (substantive) irrefutability to the proof. It is akin to the way that any “better explanation of the Universe” than my rendition of the Universal Logic (which strives for Truth and consistency along with comprehensive completeness) would still just be the “Universal Logic” (understood even better and more coherently not less). 

Result: Validated.
