  "content": "Exploring Meaning’s Necessary Logical Roots:\n\nPremises:\n\nP: Meaning is meaning, Logic tells us. Everything must mean what everything means, and because A is A for every A in at least some context, All must be All in the most universal and all encompassing context/sense that A is A, which is really what Logos is and where the Law of Identity comes from is the necessary (and self-evident and internally nesting) A is A form of Reality and it’s Logic (Nature and the Natural Order) being themselves and identical. \n\nQ: If everything is a matter of the logical form of Reality/Nature, and all things are a matter of logical relationship (structure) then meaning is inherent in and continuously arises from Logic - the Logical Framework and Structure of Nature and the Natural Order inherent in their own identity. \n\nProof:\n\n{P, P -> Q} |= P & Q\n\nConclusion: P is P, and P is a logically true premise that doesn’t violate any of the established Rules of Logic, and which conforms to and helps explain the Law of Identity, and Q is Q and is true, as a matter of logical deduction, therefore P -> Q is true/valid and the entailment of P & Q is a given and evident in this Reason (Logic) based/supported proof/reasoning. Logic gives this proof and all things their meaning, not by instilling meaning separate from logical form but by meaning being a matter of (often complex) logical relationships between defined or self-defined concepts (including Logic itself).",
