Alex Gopoian: What do you think is more important? Logical argumentation or effective good faith? Maclain Hunter: P: Logical arguments are necessary to know Objective Truth (Adonai). Q: Good Faith (intellectual honesty) is necessary to know Objective Truth (Adonai). R: Assume we can know Truth (God) by ~P & ~Q. This leads to contradiction. {P, P <-> Q, R, R -> Q, Q} |= (P & Q) & R valid ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ PQR⎪P P↔Q R R→Q Q╞(P&Q)&R ―――――――――――――――――――――――――― TTT⎪T TTT T TTT T TTT TT TTF⎪T TTT F FTT T TTT FF TFT⎪T TFF T TFF F TFF FT TFF⎪T TFF F FTF F TFF FF FTT⎪F FFT T TTT T FFT FT FTF⎪F FFT F FTT T FFT FF FFT⎪F FTF T TFF F FFF FT FFF⎪F FTF F FTF F FFF FF Note based on the context the proof was written in: Assume someone asked the question of what was more important between logical arguments and good faith (or acting in good faith or having any reasonable form of good faith). That would be setting up a false dichotomy that would miss the point of the proof above which implies in its formal reasoning that the coherent answer is to transcend the false equivalence of such a question and see the coherent path and the ultimate form of both acting in good faith and making logical arguments to be “making good faith logical argument that are effective and of high fidelity” and that which is coherent with such a thing as an intellectually honest logical proof or good faith argument. Coherence and what is part of it (or coherent with it) is not something that can always be taken and understood piecemeal. QED

Logic-centered continuity

This authored proof is connected to Logic, Logos, God, and the self-evident Ground of Reality, and to the distinct systems 4P Engine, MCB Core, 4P-MCB, and the source-first Canon. Formal proof, empirical evidence, and system-generated records remain separately typed.
