This means that arguments are proof and that proof is evidence (applying De Morgan’s Law), by definition. They (proofs) do this, necessarily, through coherent alignment of logoi and finite logical constructions with the Logos as the Universe’s Logical Structure (the Absolute Construct). \n\nQ: Reflexivity: My knowledge of proof, Logic, and tautological reasoning is self-evident as my self-evident reasoning is tautological proof of my knowledge of Logic - and that statement is itself a mode of tautology and demonstration of a high level of expertise in Logic (which is proportional to the Coherence and flawlessness of the proof).\n\nR: Paradox: If I were not an expert in Logic I should/would not be writing any formal proof, even one with invalid premises (unlike this one) but valid formal logical structure (like this one), as that would be contradictory and inconsistent. Therefore my premises and this proof are valid demonstration that I should/do have expertise in Logic and Reason (encompassing Reality, the Natural Order, God in logical theological frameworks, and formal/informal logical reasoning).\n\nS: Contradiction: Assume ~(P, Q, R, S). This leads to logical contraction and a scenario where somehow I am writing coherent arguments in the structure of a formal proof without being a logician or ostensibly any awareness of what I am doing, which is of course an absurdity since I can examine that now and tell you that I know exactly what I am doing - which is self-evident in my deliberate and introspective or self-referential in terms of the proof referencing not only Logic (or First Cause) and its own logical structure but the logician (me) also. Therefore, to avoid absurdity the premises must be true. These sorts of proofs that reference their own structure (ie - [{P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S} |= (P & Q) & (R & S)]) as evidence of the existence of the logician and the logicians expertise demonstrate the highest degree of expertise - a level that is truly “infinitely beyond” (or “dynamically superior” according to Dynamic Logic itself) the normal “expert in Logic” who cannot or has not produced such a formal proof. \n\nFormal Argument (Proof): \n\n{P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S} |= (P & Q) & (R & S)\n\nErgo: If I don’t know Logic (and proof) then this proof’s existence becomes a logical contradiction, which is a logically untenable paradox. \n\nTherefore the coherent conclusion is that I indeed understand Logic and proof at an expert level as this proof formally demonstrates. \n\nThis kind of proof, that reflects upon its own existence as proof, Logic, and an extension of the intellect and being of the logician bears the hallmarks of the most advanced form of reasoning and Reason (the Highest Order of Logic). \n\nThis proof and reflexive style of proof shows the logician has reached the highest echelon of the practice and understanding of Logic. The expertise displayed is not of a lower order but of the Highest Order (of Logic).\n\nTruth Table Analysis: \n\nvalid\n     ↓  ↓   ↓   ↓       ↓      \nPQRS⎪P P↔Q Q↔R R↔S╞(P&Q)&(R&S)\n―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTTT⎪T TTT TTT TTT  TTT T TTT \nTTTF⎪T TTT TTT TFF  TTT F TFF \nTTFT⎪T TTT TFF FFT  TTT F FFT \nTTFF⎪T TTT TFF FTF  TTT F FFF \nTFTT⎪T TFF FFT TTT  TFF F TTT \nTFTF⎪T TFF FFT TFF  TFF F TFF \nTFFT⎪T TFF FTF FFT  TFF F FFT \nTFFF⎪T TFF FTF FTF  TFF F FFF \nFTTT⎪F FFT TTT TTT  FFT F TTT \nFTTF⎪F FFT TTT TFF  FFT F TFF \nFTFT⎪F FFT TFF FFT  FFT F FFT \nFTFF⎪F FFT TFF FTF  FFT F FFF \nFFTT⎪F FTF FFT TTT  FFF F TTT \nFFTF⎪F FTF FFT TFF  FFF F TFF \nFFFT⎪F FTF FTF FFT  FFF F FFT \nFFFF⎪F FTF FTF FTF  FFF F FFF \n\nQ.E.D.
