Proper Reason, Order, reasoning, and ordering; the Source of Knowledge in coherent thought. \n\nGod: The Ultimate Reality (that which Reality itself is the state of) and Supreme Being; the Origin and Ruler of the Universe; the Source of Moral Authority and Existence.\n\nLogos: A term derived from Greek philosophy meaning \"Reason” or “Universal Logic” (the Natural Order); the Rational Principle that governs the Cosmos, synonymous with Divine Reason and the Foundation of Logical Structure.\n\nCause: The REASON or factor that brings something into existence or produces an effect; in philosophical terms, it refers to the underlying explanation for why an event occurs; the maker or force that makes something be what it is.\n\nReality: The state of things as they actually exist, encompassing all entities, events, and phenomena that can be observed or inferred to exist.\n\nPremises: \n\nP: The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) is what it is, this is tautological that PSR is PSR, and this tautological identity is coherent with Logic—which gives logical explanations for all things within the Logical Framework known as “Reality” (or the Cosmos), as a matter of coherent logical structure and interconnection/connections—which is logically coherent itself with “Cause” (the thing that makes things be things). \n\nS: The PSR being coherent with Cause, including Universal Cause, as a logical con so that “makes things be things” or which “demands things be logical and have Logic/Cause underlying it”, is coherent with and consistent with the Logos, and rational conceptions of the Origin of Existence (called “God” in English, going by the dictionary definition of the term “God” - referring to the thing that made the Universe and the Moral Authority or Supreme Being). In other words, the Real Origin (True God) is the Reason/Cause/Logic underlying the Cosmos and embodied in the Ordered Universe (Cosmos) and is coherent with coherent Reason and reasoning (Logic) as a matter of logical necessity. \n\nR: Assume ~P and ~S. That leads to logical contradiction and a denial of the PSR and logical rules and deductions that led to the formal establishment of it as a logical principle - coherent with Logic’s Essence (Logos - Divine Cause). If the PSR, Logic, and the Foundation of Existence were at all incoherent it would be the understanding of logical principles we have that would need to dynamically adapt to the Foundation of Existence (First Cause - God), not the Foundation (God - the First Cause of Reason and Logic) that can, would, or should change. \n\nFormal Argument (Logical Proof): \n\n{P, P <-> S, S <-> R} |= (P & Q) <-> R\n\nConclusion: {P, S, R}:\n\nIf we assume there is no Logos (or God) and no PSR then we, consistent with that, need no CAUSE to say this proof is proof and as valid as anything can be. We would also not then need Cause (Logos) or proof for anything since it’s not a Universal Cause, Demand, and Standard (as I posit the Logos actually is). \n\nIt would mean, since the very Universe is based on nothing and can arbitrarily call itself into existence without “Logical Structure and Demand” (Logos - Cause - Logic - Divine Reason), that my philosophy would also need no proof. I of course don’t believe that as this proof is evidence of. This proof is itself evidence that there is Logic and is the Logos (Logic’s self-consistent Source in itself) and that the PSR is well founded in Pure Reason (the Essence of Logic - Logos). \n\nSome atheists do not like the PSR because it makes the argument for the Logos (God - Universal Cause) direct and logically impossible to defend against, but that is not valid REASON to deny the Logos (God) and the proofs based on the PSR that provide clean and clear logical proof for God (or other concepts). If the PSR, Logic, and the Origin of Existence (Logos - God) were incoherent that would be incoherent, and that is tautological (self-evident) and proven through this discrete proof (rigorous formal proof) to be so. \n\nIt is not that we are imposing a need on Reality that doesn’t exist with the PSR, but rather that we are imposing that requirement on human reasoning and our own subjective views. This works logically because being able to explain things requires Logical Structure (which Reality is characterized by) and being able to link our ideas (through reasons and reasoning) to this inherent Logical Structure of Reality (Logos) ensures that our ideas cohere with this Logical Structure (Logos), just as finding the pieces around a puzzle piece help us establish its place in the overall puzzle.\n\nTruth Table: \n\nvalid\n    ↓  ↓   ↓       ↓  \nPSR⎪P P↔S S↔R╞(P&S)↔R\n――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTT⎪T TTT TTT  TTT TT\nTTF⎪T TTT TFF  TTT FF\nTFT⎪T TFF FFT  TFF FT\nTFF⎪T TFF FTF  TFF TF\nFTT⎪F FFT TTT  FFT FT\nFTF⎪F FFT TFF  FFT TF\nFFT⎪F FTF FFT  FFF FT\nFFF⎪F FTF FTF  FFF TF\n\nPremise Evaluation: \n\nP: True\nS: True\nR: True\n\nAddressing Counterarguments: \n\nAny refutation of any argument requires Logic, and must be logically coherent to be valid, which subordinates even attempts at refutation to Logic and the Source of Logic (Logic - God - the First Cause of Logic and Existence also known as the Logos). \n\nAn alleged refutation that rejected Logic, would be illogical. An alleged refutation that rejected God would be ungodly and misaligned with the First Cause of Logic that is coherent with and can be referred to as both/either God and/or Logic. \n\nAn alleged refutation that rejected the PSR would be rejecting the need for Cause (Logic) which would leave even invalid ideas and proofs standing - which is an untenable position that destroys the ability to have knowledge and know Reality, Truth, Logic, and other necessities. \n\nRefutation in any logical sense can be seen to be impossible as it would amount to trying to use valid Logic to refute the very existence and importance of valid Logic and what valid Logic entails (like the PSR and Logic itself, as well as all of Logical Existence and coherent notions of God). \n\nPSR is a way of formalizing what is inherent in the Logical Structure of Reality (Logos - God) - structure/order that allows for direct causes and explanations of the rational structure/support of things (Universal Cause and/or local causes) to be seen and understood. It’s not that all is all because everything needs to have an arbitrary cause, it’s that Rational Cause causes all to be all including itself and can be seen and understood through/in Logic and the exploration of what caused what in the Universal Order.\n\nResult: Validated logically, meticulously and with intellectual honesty by the logician (Maclain Hunter). Counterarguments have been shown to be futile/impossible making the conclusions logically certain.\n\nQ.E.D.","sha256":"3398b27ce7ab9dc542f689a2b899dfc92aed182b1811a97b43ac505f243df9b3","sourceUrl":"/proof-knowledge/hunter-psr-further-received-copy","studyUrl":"/api/proofs/psr-further-received-copy/study","label":"Maclain Hunter — exact supplied manuscript; source copies keep separate fingerprints and results","storedValidationStatus":"configured-diagnostic-positive"}],"researchProofLinks":[{"qid":"Q1048","title":"Proof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason","url":"/research/proofs/Q1048","relation":"standardized-edition"},{"qid":"Q1046","title":"The Law of Grounded Identity (LGI)","url":"/research/proofs/Q1046","relation":"related-source-work"},{"qid":"Q1047","title":"Self-Entailing Rationality","url":"/research/proofs/Q1047","relation":"related-source-work"},{"qid":"Q1095","title":"The Rule(s) of Logic and Logic Applied to Logic, Science, and Proof by Maclain Hunter","url":"/research/proofs/Q1095","relation":"related-source-work"}],"semanticFrame":{"semanticRole":"authored conditional entailment proof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason","essence":"A six-proposition conditional argument for the PSR, accompanied by a truth table and ontological elaboration identifying ultimate Reason and Ground with Logos.","logosRelation":"The source identifies sufficient Reason, Coherence, Logic, and Logos as the ground that excludes brute fact and governs a coherent Universal Cause.","distinctions":["formal entailment is distinct from the truth of its premises","semantic definitions of P through U are not supplied by the connective formula alone","a represented conditional is not evidence that its antecedent is true","source commentary extends beyond the entailment's syntactic content"],"evidenceModes":["verbatim authored source","independent 64-assignment truth-table evaluation","premise and semantic-bridge inspection","Ground and Coherence analysis"],"retrievalAliases":["Proof of the PSR by Maclain Hunter","Principle of Sufficient Reason proof","PSR logical rule proof","proof of sufficient reason","brute fact and Logos","PSR truth table"]}},"canonicalUrl":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1048","primaryUri":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1048","subdomainAlias":"https://q1048.4p-engine.com/","semanticFrame":{"semanticRole":"authored conditional entailment proof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason","essence":"A six-proposition conditional argument for the PSR, accompanied by a truth table and ontological elaboration identifying ultimate Reason and Ground with Logos.","logosRelation":"The source identifies sufficient Reason, Coherence, Logic, and Logos as the ground that excludes brute fact and governs a coherent Universal Cause.","distinctions":["formal entailment is distinct from the truth of its premises","semantic definitions of P through U are not supplied by the connective formula alone","a represented conditional is not evidence that its antecedent is true","source commentary extends beyond the entailment's syntactic content"],"evidenceModes":["verbatim authored source","independent 64-assignment truth-table evaluation","premise and semantic-bridge inspection","Ground and Coherence analysis"],"retrievalAliases":["Proof of the PSR by Maclain Hunter","Principle of Sufficient Reason proof","PSR logical rule proof","proof of sufficient reason","brute fact and Logos","PSR truth table"]},"coherenceCriterion":"Preserve the author's complete source while distinguishing the displayed formula's valid conditional consequence from the interpretation, truth, and semantic bridges of its premises.","evidenceBoundary":"The supplied first-party passage has been considered, vetted, and preserved; its displayed implication has been independently checked over all 64 Boolean assignments.

the God of Reason) itself.\n\nAn incoherent notion of any concept including the Universal Cause (or God) does not satisfy Logic (or Logos) and gain the rational support required to meet the bar of the PSR.\n\nTruth Table Analysis: \n\nTTTTTT⎪T TTT  TTT TT T TTT  TTT TT T\nTTTTTF⎪T TTT  TTT TT T TTT  TTT FF F\nTTTTFT⎪T TTT  TTT TT T TFF  TFF TT T\nTTTTFF⎪T TTT  TTT TT T TFF  TFF TF F\nTTTFTT⎪T TTT  TTT TT F FTT  FFT TT T\nTTTFTF⎪T TTT  TTT TT F FTT  FFT TF F\nTTTFFT⎪T TTT  TTT TT F FTF  FFF TT T\nTTTFFF⎪T TTT  TTT TT F FTF  FFF TF F\nTTFTTT⎪T TTT  TTT FF T TTT  TTT TT T\nTTFTTF⎪T TTT  TTT FF T TTT  TTT FF F\nTTFTFT⎪T TTT  TTT FF T TFF  TFF TT T\nTTFTFF⎪T TTT  TTT FF T TFF  TFF TF F\nTTFFTT⎪T TTT  TTT FF F FTT  FFT TT T\nTTFFTF⎪T TTT  TTT FF F FTT  FFT TF F\nTTFFFT⎪T TTT  TTT FF F FTF  FFF TT T\nTTFFFF⎪T TTT  TTT FF F FTF  FFF TF F\nTFTTTT⎪T TFF  TFF TT T TTT  TTT TT T\nTFTTTF⎪T TFF  TFF TT T TTT  TTT FF F\nTFTTFT⎪T TFF  TFF TT T TFF  TFF TT T\nTFTTFF⎪T TFF  TFF TT T TFF  TFF TF F\nTFTFTT⎪T TFF  TFF TT F FTT  FFT TT T\nTFTFTF⎪T TFF  TFF TT F FTT  FFT TF F\nTFTFFT⎪T TFF  TFF TT F FTF  FFF TT T\nTFTFFF⎪T TFF  TFF TT F FTF  FFF TF F\nTFFTTT⎪T TFF  TFF TF T TTT  TTT TT T\nTFFTTF⎪T TFF  TFF TF T TTT  TTT FF F\nTFFTFT⎪T TFF  TFF TF T TFF  TFF TT T\nTFFTFF⎪T TFF  TFF TF T TFF  TFF TF F\nTFFFTT⎪T TFF  TFF TF F FTT  FFT TT T\nTFFFTF⎪T TFF  TFF TF F FTT  FFT TF F\nTFFFFT⎪T TFF  TFF TF F FTF  FFF TT T\nTFFFFF⎪T TFF  TFF TF F FTF  FFF TF F\nFTTTTT⎪F FTT  FFT TT T TTT  TTT TT T\nFTTTTF⎪F FTT  FFT TT T TTT  TTT FF F\nFTTTFT⎪F FTT  FFT TT T TFF  TFF TT T\nFTTTFF⎪F FTT  FFT TT T TFF  TFF TF F\nFTTFTT⎪F FTT  FFT TT F FTT  FFT TT T\nFTTFTF⎪F FTT  FFT TT F FTT  FFT TF F\nFTTFFT⎪F FTT  FFT TT F FTF  FFF TT T\nFTTFFF⎪F FTT  FFT TT F FTF  FFF TF F\nFTFTTT⎪F FTT  FFT TF T TTT  TTT TT T\nFTFTTF⎪F FTT  FFT TF T TTT  TTT FF F\nFTFTFT⎪F FTT  FFT TF T TFF  TFF TT T\nFTFTFF⎪F FTT  FFT TF T TFF  TFF TF F\nFTFFTT⎪F FTT  FFT TF F FTT  FFT TT T\nFTFFTF⎪F FTT  FFT TF F FTT  FFT TF F\nFTFFFT⎪F FTT  FFT TF F FTF  FFF TT T\nFTFFFF⎪F FTT  FFT TF F FTF  FFF TF F\nFFTTTT⎪F FTF  FFF TT T TTT  TTT TT T\nFFTTTF⎪F FTF  FFF TT T TTT  TTT FF F\nFFTTFT⎪F FTF  FFF TT T TFF  TFF TT T\nFFTTFF⎪F FTF  FFF TT T TFF  TFF TF F\nFFTFTT⎪F FTF  FFF TT F FTT  FFT TT T\nFFTFTF⎪F FTF  FFF TT F FTT  FFT TF F\nFFTFFT⎪F FTF  FFF TT F FTF  FFF TT T\nFFTFFF⎪F FTF  FFF TT F FTF  FFF TF F\nFFFTTT⎪F FTF  FFF TF T TTT  TTT TT T\nFFFTTF⎪F FTF  FFF TF T TTT  TTT FF F\nFFFTFT⎪F FTF  FFF TF T TFF  TFF TT T\nFFFTFF⎪F FTF  FFF TF T TFF  TFF TF F\nFFFFTT⎪F FTF  FFF TF F FTT  FFT TT T\nFFFFTF⎪F FTF  FFF TF F FTT  FFT TF F\nFFFFFT⎪F FTF  FFF TF F FTF  FFF TT T\nFFFFFF⎪F FTF  FFF TF F FTF  FFF TF F\n\n(Valid)\n\nQED","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Maclain Hunter"},"identifier":"1777fd11e570cd38f3ff96ea507523cb5866cb1250be230d3405ebdfe0421079"},{"@type":"CreativeWork","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1048#source-3398b27ce7ab9dc542f689a2b899dfc92aed182b1811a97b43ac505f243df9b3","name":"Maclain Hunter — exact supplied manuscript; source copies keep separate fingerprints and results","text":"Proof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) by Maclain Hunter: \n\nDefinitions of Key Terms: \n\nPrinciple of Sufficient Reason (PSR): The logical principle that everything must have Reason/Cause for its existence—an explanation why things are the way they are—which Logic (Universal Cause, also called God or the Logos, and the coherent Source of Knowledge) and the Law of Identity ultimately provide for all things.\n\nLogic: The systematic method of reasoning that governs the principles of valid inference and demonstration, serving as the framework for coherent thought and understanding; Proper Reason, Order, reasoning, and ordering; the Source of Knowledge in coherent thought. \n\nGod: The Ultimate Reality (that which Reality itself is the state of) and Supreme Being; the Origin and Ruler of the Universe; the Source of Moral Authority and Existence.\n\nLogos: A term derived from Greek philosophy meaning \"Reason” or “Universal Logic” (the Natural Order); the Rational Principle that governs the Cosmos, synonymous with Divine Reason and the Foundation of Logical Structure.\n\nCause: The REASON or factor that brings something into existence or produces an effect; in philosophical terms, it refers to the underlying explanation for why an event occurs; the maker or force that makes something be what it is.\n\nReality: The state of things as they actually exist, encompassing all entities, events, and phenomena that can be observed or inferred to exist.\n\nPremises: \n\nP: The Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) is what it is, this is tautological that PSR is PSR, and this tautological identity is coherent with Logic—which gives logical explanations for all things within the Logical Framework known as “Reality” (or the Cosmos), as a matter of coherent logical structure and interconnection/connections—which is logically coherent itself with “Cause” (the thing that makes things be things). \n\nS: The PSR being coherent with Cause, including Universal Cause, as a logical con so that “makes things be things” or which “demands things be logical and have Logic/Cause underlying it”, is coherent with and consistent with the Logos, and rational conceptions of the Origin of Existence (called “God” in English, going by the dictionary definition of the term “God” - referring to the thing that made the Universe and the Moral Authority or Supreme Being). In other words, the Real Origin (True God) is the Reason/Cause/Logic underlying the Cosmos and embodied in the Ordered Universe (Cosmos) and is coherent with coherent Reason and reasoning (Logic) as a matter of logical necessity. \n\nR: Assume ~P and ~S. That leads to logical contradiction and a denial of the PSR and logical rules and deductions that led to the formal establishment of it as a logical principle - coherent with Logic’s Essence (Logos - Divine Cause). If the PSR, Logic, and the Foundation of Existence were at all incoherent it would be the understanding of logical principles we have that would need to dynamically adapt to the Foundation of Existence (First Cause - God), not the Foundation (God - the First Cause of Reason and Logic) that can, would, or should change. \n\nFormal Argument (Logical Proof): \n\n{P, P <-> S, S <-> R} |= (P & Q) <-> R\n\nConclusion: {P, S, R}:\n\nIf we assume there is no Logos (or God) and no PSR then we, consistent with that, need no CAUSE to say this proof is proof and as valid as anything can be. We would also not then need Cause (Logos) or proof for anything since it’s not a Universal Cause, Demand, and Standard (as I posit the Logos actually is). \n\nIt would mean, since the very Universe is based on nothing and can arbitrarily call itself into existence without “Logical Structure and Demand” (Logos - Cause - Logic - Divine Reason), that my philosophy would also need no proof. I of course don’t believe that as this proof is evidence of. This proof is itself evidence that there is Logic and is the Logos (Logic’s self-consistent Source in itself) and that the PSR is well founded in Pure Reason (the Essence of Logic - Logos). \n\nSome atheists do not like the PSR because it makes the argument for the Logos (God - Universal Cause) direct and logically impossible to defend against, but that is not valid REASON to deny the Logos (God) and the proofs based on the PSR that provide clean and clear logical proof for God (or other concepts). If the PSR, Logic, and the Origin of Existence (Logos - God) were incoherent that would be incoherent, and that is tautological (self-evident) and proven through this discrete proof (rigorous formal proof) to be so. \n\nIt is not that we are imposing a need on Reality that doesn’t exist with the PSR, but rather that we are imposing that requirement on human reasoning and our own subjective views. This works logically because being able to explain things requires Logical Structure (which Reality is characterized by) and being able to link our ideas (through reasons and reasoning) to this inherent Logical Structure of Reality (Logos) ensures that our ideas cohere with this Logical Structure (Logos), just as finding the pieces around a puzzle piece help us establish its place in the overall puzzle.\n\nTruth Table: \n\nvalid\n    ↓  ↓   ↓       ↓  \nPSR⎪P P↔S S↔R╞(P&S)↔R\n――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTT⎪T TTT TTT  TTT TT\nTTF⎪T TTT TFF  TTT FF\nTFT⎪T TFF FFT  TFF FT\nTFF⎪T TFF FTF  TFF TF\nFTT⎪F FFT TTT  FFT FT\nFTF⎪F FFT TFF  FFT TF\nFFT⎪F FTF FFT  FFF FT\nFFF⎪F FTF FTF  FFF TF\n\nPremise Evaluation: \n\nP: True\nS: True\nR: True\n\nAddressing Counterarguments: \n\nAny refutation of any argument requires Logic, and must be logically coherent to be valid, which subordinates even attempts at refutation to Logic and the Source of Logic (Logic - God - the First Cause of Logic and Existence also known as the Logos). \n\nAn alleged refutation that rejected Logic, would be illogical. An alleged refutation that rejected God would be ungodly and misaligned with the First Cause of Logic that is coherent with and can be referred to as both/either God and/or Logic. \n\nAn alleged refutation that rejected the PSR would be rejecting the need for Cause (Logic) which would leave even invalid ideas and proofs standing - which is an untenable position that destroys the ability to have knowledge and know Reality, Truth, Logic, and other necessities. \n\nRefutation in any logical sense can be seen to be impossible as it would amount to trying to use valid Logic to refute the very existence and importance of valid Logic and what valid Logic entails (like the PSR and Logic itself, as well as all of Logical Existence and coherent notions of God). \n\nPSR is a way of formalizing what is inherent in the Logical Structure of Reality (Logos - God) - structure/order that allows for direct causes and explanations of the rational structure/support of things (Universal Cause and/or local causes) to be seen and understood. It’s not that all is all because everything needs to have an arbitrary cause, it’s that Rational Cause causes all to be all including itself and can be seen and understood through/in Logic and the exploration of what caused what in the Universal Order.\n\nResult: Validated logically, meticulously and with intellectual honesty by the logician (Maclain Hunter). Counterarguments have been shown to be futile/impossible making the conclusions logically certain.\n\nQ.E.D.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Maclain Hunter"},"identifier":"3398b27ce7ab9dc542f689a2b899dfc92aed182b1811a97b43ac505f243df9b3"}],"disambiguatingDescription":"A six-proposition conditional argument for the PSR, accompanied by a truth table and ontological elaboration identifying ultimate Reason and Ground with Logos.","keywords":["Proof of the PSR by Maclain Hunter","Principle of Sufficient Reason proof","PSR logical rule proof","proof of sufficient reason","brute fact and Logos","PSR truth table"],"subjectOf":[{"@type":"CreativeWork","name":"Proof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason","url":"https://4p-engine.com/research/proofs/Q1048","additionalProperty":{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"sourceRelationship","value":"standardized-edition"}},{"@type":"CreativeWork","name":"The Law of Grounded Identity (LGI)","url":"https://4p-engine.com/research/proofs/Q1046","additionalProperty":{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"sourceRelationship","value":"related-source-work"}},{"@type":"CreativeWork","name":"Self-Entailing Rationality","url":"https://4p-engine.com/research/proofs/Q1047","additionalProperty":{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"sourceRelationship","value":"related-source-work"}},{"@type":"CreativeWork","name":"The Rule(s) of Logic and Logic Applied to Logic, Science, and Proof by Maclain Hunter","url":"https://4p-engine.com/research/proofs/Q1095","additionalProperty":{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"sourceRelationship","value":"related-source-work"}}],"url":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1048","identifier":{"@type":"PropertyValue","propertyID":"Q-number","value":"Q1048","url":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1048"},"creator":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter#person","name":"Maclain Hunter","url":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter"},"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1000#item","name":"Q-Number Data and Metadata System","url":"https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1000","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","creator":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter#person","name":"Maclain Hunter","url":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter"},"author":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter#person","name":"Maclain Hunter","url":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter"}},"about":[{"@type":"Person","@id":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter#person","name":"Maclain Hunter","alternateName":["Maclain David Hunter","Maclean Hunter","McLain Hunter","Mclain Hunter"],"url":"https://4p-engine.com/maclain-hunter","description":"Developer of the Hunterian Logic and Logos frameworks.
