Terms: 

Logic: The Order and reasoning inherent in Reality’s Logical Framework (Logos) and in human cognition and thought (biological and metaphysical).

Consciousness: Self-aware existence. The ability to comprehend oneself and ones own comprehension of concepts. 

Mind: The structure or reasoning engine that allows for thought and in which thought and consciousness takes place.

Tautological: Self evident; redundant; necessarily true.

Premises:\n\nP: What is conscious and tautological is tautological and conscious through Logic's transitive properties and universally symmetrical (totally consistent) nature. \n\nQ: Coherent conscious minds (the mind one with Logic) is inherently conscious and tautological. \n\nR: Assume ~P and ~Q for a moment, and assume that self-evidence was not a form of self-knowledge and that self-knowledge was not a form of self-awareness and self-assured/insured existence. Assume also that the Mind as defined were not fundamentally coherent with and identical with Logic (Logos) as defined. That set of assumptions leads to logical contradictions where, for instance, classic logical concepts like \"I think therefore I am\" (Descartes) would be undermined in addition to Logic and the notion that Logic is coherent Reason and reasoning and itself conscious and tautological (the denial of which is \"lessening Logic and its nature/awareness/knowledge\").\n\nFormal Argument (Proof):\n\n{P, Q, R} |= (P & Q) <-> R\n\nConclusion: P, Q, and R: \n\nIf Logic were not a \"Universal Mind\" (conscious and tautological \"coherent Reason and reasoning\" - an integrated reasoning process and Logical Standard - \"God and reckoning\" or \"the Foundation and the realization of the Foundation\" in other words) then that would lead to logical contradiction. Anything that is tautological and conscious is a manifestation of what is conscious and tautological, the ground and pinnacle of which is Logic (logically speaking and according to Logic's transitive properties, total consistency, universal symmetry, and objective logical coherence. \n\nThe Mind and Logic are fundamentally the same thing, and are incoherent (with Logos - with the Perfect Mind and Logic) when incoherent with that same Logic/Logos that is the Perfect Logic and the Universal Mind whose coherence, as the Logical Standard, is eternally fixed and stable as a matter of logical identity.\n\nTruth Table:
\n{P, Q, R} |= (P & Q) <-> R\n\nValid

P | Q | R : valid and consistent (unknown without known true or false premises)
T | T | T : true and tautological (the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nT | T | F : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nT | F | F : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nF | T | T : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nF | F | T : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nF | T | F : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nT | F | T : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)
\nF | F | F : false and flawed (not the case in this proof as written and defined based on true premises)

Result: Intellectually honest and rigorous validation of the formal logical proof (above).
