    CHAPTER 0. PRINCIPLE FOUNDATIONS 4

    Definition 0.0.11: Given X and Y are conditions, a conjecture

    X implies Y means if X is satisfied, then so is Y, or Xs exis-tence constitutes the existence of Y. This can be stated Y is animplication of X.

    Assumption 4: Logical Implications of Assumptions and Axioms

    1. If an Axiom of a Theory asserts the existence of X, we mayassume that X exists.

    2. If an Assumption of X, is made, X may be performed.

    Definition 0.0.12: A conjecture is (1)a statement that canbe proven true or false. (2)Given sets of conditions, A and B,A B is a conjecture. (3)In general, for a set of conditions, A,and a conjecture, X, a conjecture would say A X. (4)Giventwo conjectures, X and Y, X Y is a conjecture.

    Definition 0.0.13: A theorem is a conjecture logically impliedby assumptions and axioms that can be proven to be true.

    Definition 0.0.14: A lemma is a theorem used to prove a partof the main theorem. Given a set of lemmas, L, and a main

    theorem T, L T.

    Definition 0.0.15: A corollary is a subsequent theorem logi-cally implied by the main theorem.

    Assumption 5: Logical Implications of Theorems

    1. Given conditions C := {X, Y,...} and given a conjecture, Z,if proven that {X,Y,...} imply Z (C Z) then when suppliedwith C ={X, Y,...} we may automatically assume Z. In otherwords, [(C Z) C] true Z true.

    (a) This general theorem would read: Given {X, Y, ... }, Z, Let {X, Y,...} then Z, If {X, Y,...}, then Z,or {X, Y,...} Z. Making use of C, we would sayC Z.

    3. Given a condition, X, X X

    Theorem 0.0.1: For true statements, X, Y, Z, we see that [X Y Z X] [X Y Z]

    Proof. Two parts () Let [X Y Z X]. X Z and Z X soX Z. Furthermore, since Z X and X Y, Z Y. Thus Y Z.Since Y Z and Z X, Y X. Therefore, [X Y Z]. ()Let [X Y Z]. Since Z Y and Y X, Z X. Therefore,

    [X Y Z X].

    Theorem 0.0.2: Given conjectures, X and Y, if X Y is true X Y isfalse.

    Proof. Let X and Y be conjectures and let Theorem A:= X Y be true.Then A= X Y is false.

    Theorem 0.0.3: X is true (X) is true.

    Proof. Two-part proof() Let X be true. Then X:=Y is false. Since Y is false, Y is true. ThusY=(X) is true.() Let (X) be true and let Y := X. Then (X)=Y is true. ThusY =X is false. Therefore, since X is false, X is true.

    Definition 0.0.16: Let X1, X2, ... , Xn be conjectures. X1 X2 ... Xn (X1 or X2 or ... or Xn) forms a new conjecture A;thus, A is either (1)true or (2)false.

    Definition 0.0.17: Let X1, X2, ... , Xn be conjectures. X1

    X2

    ... Xn

    (X1

    and X2

    and ... and Xn

    ) forms another conjec-ture, A, which must be either (1)true or (2)false, and so we willdefine and as:

    1. X1 X2 ... Xn is true m {1, 2,...,n}, Xm is true.

    2. X1X2...Xn is false an m between 1 and n inclusiveXm is false.

    Theorem 0.0.4: Given a conjecture, Y, [Y Y] is false.

    Proof. Y is a conjecture, so it is (1)true or (2)false. Case 1: Y is true.Then Y is false. Thus by definition of and, YY is false. Case 2: Y

    is false. Then Y is true. So, by the reasoning in the first case, YY isfalse. Therefore, for any conjecture, Y, it would be false to make a claimthat states that both Y and Y are true.

    Lemma 0.0.5: Given a true conjecture, X, and any conjecture, Y, only oneof the following can be true: X Y or XY.

    Proof. Y is (1)true or (2)false. So, (1) suppose Y is true. Then X Y istrue; and since Y is false, XY is false. And, (2) ifY is false, so is X Y.Furthermore, Y is true, so XY is as well. Therefore, since for both casesthe implication holds true, either XY is true, or X Y is true.

    Lemma 0.0.6: Given X logically follows from a set of axioms, [X Y]being a theorem [X (X Y)] is a theorem.

    Proof. () X Y is true. By assumption of X, X is true. Hence, X Xis true as well. So, X both X and Y. So, X [X Y].() [X (X Y)] is true. So, X X is true, and X Y is true andtherefore a theorem.

    Lemma 0.0.7: [X Y] is a theorem [(X Y) Y] is a theorem.

    Proof. Let X Y be a theorem. Y Y is also a theorem. Thus X and Y

    both imply Y. Therefore, it is true to say that [(X Y) Y].

    Theorem 0.0.8: Let X, Y, Z be true. Then, A := [X Y Z] true B := [(X Y) Z] true C := [X (Y Z)] true.

    CHAPTER 0. PRINCIPLE FOUNDATIONS 7

    Proof. Three-part: (A B) [X Y Z] is true. So, D := (X Y) is true

    and so is D Z. Thus [(X Y) Z] is true.(B C) [(X Y) Z] is true. So(C A)

    Lemma 0.0.9: X Y and XZ are theorems. X is true implies XZYis true.

    Proof. Two part () Suppose X Y and XZ are true. Then A := XZis true. Since X Y, we know that Y is true as well. Thus X Z Y istrue.

    Theorem 0.0.10: Suppose X is true and a conjecture, A, states that Ximplies Y. If Y is false, then A is false.

    Proof. Let X be true and let a conjecture, A := X Y. Suppose Y isfalse. Then Y is true. We know that X is true, so XY is true. Thus[[X Y] X] [X Y: A] is false (WRONG!!! REDO!).

    Indirect Proofs: If were given a conjecture, X Y based on condi-tions C, then there are two ways to prove: directly and indirectly. To prove

    something directly based on the assumed C, we assume X C and provethat Y is a logical consequence. We can also prove something indirectly.Two ways to do this is by proving that the contrapositive of a statement istrue and by using a proof by contradiction.

    A contrapositive proof is a direct proof of the negated and flipped state-ment. This type of proof is different from the proof by contradiction. Proofby contradiction assumes the conditions, C, the hypothesis, X, and thenegated, Y. And by the assumption of Y, a contradiction of C or Xmust be drawn to prove that Y follows from X.

    Theorem 0.0.11: Non-Contradiction of theorems Given a theorem, X Yand supplied with X, (1)(X Y) is true and (2)X Y is false.

    13/44

    CHAPTER 0. PRINCIPLE FOUNDATIONS 8

    Proof. Two parts:

    A := X Y is a theorem. So there exists a set of conditions, C, whichexist as implied by the axioms such that C A. Let C be satisfied. Then,X Y is true. So, given X, X Y is true. Thus XY is not true. Thusto state X Y := B would be false (proved (2)) and since B is false,B = X Y is true.

    Theorem 0.0.12: Equivalence of Theorems and their Contrapositives!!! [X Y] is true [(Y X)] is true.

    Proof. Two part:() X Y is true based on conditions C. Let C be satisfied. Then, C

    and X Y are both true. So, supplied with X, (X Y) would yieldY, making X Y true. Given our conditions and theorem, suppose Y isassumed. We know that X Y is false, thus X Y is false, meaningthat since Y is assumed true, X is false, making X true. Thus, YXis true. If you look at what has been done, youll see that by supposition ofY, X is yielded. Therefore, rewritten, Y X.() Y X is true based upon conditions, C. Assume X is supplied. Weknow that Y X is false. So, Y X is false. Thus, since X is true,Y is false, making Y true. Therefore, supplied with X, we get Y; usingsymbols, weve proven X Y. Q.E. friggen D.

    0.1 Tools and Resources

    Definition 0.1.1: A tool, X, is something used to create a

    product, Y.

    0.1.1 Tools

    Suppose Y is Logos. There are three general tools I shall use: X1: my mind,X2: my body, and X3: my computer.

    My mind To create or recreate ideas, I must use the components of mymind. Generally stated, these include my sense of imagination and sense ofreason which base themselves on my memory. These components are relatedto my brain and hence my body. Thus,...

    My body I use verbal communication (mouth and voice), body movement,sense of hearing (ears), and sense of vision (eyes) to create a resource basedon memory, which forms itself by expressing and witnessing ideas and actionswith/of others and myself (REWRITE!!!). I use my vision to read words andadd to the aforementioned resource. And, in typing, I use my manual digits(movement) to record information as well as my sense of vision to read whatI type.

    My computer To create the words, equations, and diagrams in this book,

    I shall use the hardware of the computer (i.e. keyboard, mouse, monitor,etc.). In addition, I shall use LATEX, a program used to create documents,which uses packages that provide the capability to type information, cre-ate equations, and include diagrams. The diagrams will be created usingMicrosoft Office or Adobe Illustrator.

    Definition0.1.2

    :A resource,X, of a product, Y, is a rawsupply used to create Y.

    0.1.2 Resources

    The resources I shall use in creating this work are: words, symbols, depic-tions, and mind content.

    Words To express ideas, I choose to use words in the English language andin other languages. For the foreign and focal words I use, I shall supply adefinition.

    Symbols For recurring concepts (such as an imply), broad concepts(such as plus (see Section 1.3)), and relative concepts (such as variables),I may wish to use a symbol. I will define the symbols used.

    Depictions Sometimes depictions, such as diagrams, express a conceptbetter than words and symbols. In addition, diagrams aid in a personscomprehension of an idea expressed using these words and symbols. Thus,as a visual aid, I will supply diagrams to help in this area.

    Mind Content Its possible to put together a random configuration ofwords and symbols and to include an irrelevant drawing. However, my goal isto use these three resources to express my knowledge database of information.This database is a product of my experience in learning concepts and ideasof others. In addition to this personal experience, I have developed conceptsand theories of my own making using my senses of reason and imagination.All of these concepts, theories, and ideas are either recorded in my memory orto be developed through writing this dissertation. Therefore, in [THE PARTON RECOGNITION], I will recognize key minds and products of minds usedto develop this work.

    4.2 Theories About God

    4.2.1 God does not Exist

    Our existence is a process of haphazard occurrences. These occurrencesstem from a source that spontaneously and haphazardly brought them about.But wait... That cant happen! For this source must have also been caused bya source. And this pre-existing source from which all sources stem would haveto have spontaneously created them... meaning this source has either beenprogrammed to function this way by itself or by some intentional systemwith the ability to program the source, which would imply a creative andintelligent minds existence before the time everything was set into motion.Sounds too much like God.

    OK... Everything was just mysteriously here ever since the beginning oftime; and time started... by some haphazard occurrence...

    Alright, third times a charm. There was no beginning. There is no end.Everything that exists has always just existed from time extended from neg-ative infinity to the present. There is no reason for our existence. Objects inmotion have always been in motion. It is only by the principle of serendipi-tous chance that life exists, that I am capable of reason, and that Math, the

    product of pure logic, is parallel to the Laws of Physics. My sense of reason isprobably askew, but theres no way of knowing this because I am confined tomy mind, an alternative reality serendipitously created by neurons firing, andthese neurons fire from some serendipitous neuron firing mechanism whichstems from... neurons firing (among other things). Oh how grateful I am,dear Serendipity!
