  "content": "The Maker of the Syllogism by Maclain Hunter: \n\nPremises: \n\nP: The Maker of the Cosmos (Logos) exists in a bi-conditional relationship (<->) with the natural formation of the Universe (by “Natural Cause”). This is tautological even while using varied semantics and syntax, like saying the “Essence of Logic” (the Core of Rationality) is the “Substance of Reason” (Rationality’s Core). This is supported by logical rules and principles including the Law of Identity (that embodies the Logos and is itself by and according to itself - as the identified “Maker of the Cosmos” aka “God”: the Creator and Ruler of the Universe; the Moral Authority; the Supreme Being) and the PSR - which necessitates Universal Cause (Logos) for the Universe (Cosmos), as it’s necessary Maker and Origin. \n\nQ: Assume ~P for a moment. This leads to paradox and contradiction where what is logical is divorced from what is natural and what is made is somehow not caused or formed (and vice versa), which is absurd, and disrespects the rational meanings of these terms and the natural/logical structure of the Universal Logos (Objective Reason) itself. \n\nR: It is incoherent to posit that we don’t need a Logical Maker (Logos - Cause) because Existence can allegedly be explained instead (as if by a different concept in substance) by “Natural Formation” (or Cause). This is a classic “distinction without a difference” that relies on a false dichotomy between the Logos as the Maker of the Cosmos and the Cosmos being “naturally formed”. Logos is the Natural Cause that naturally formed Logical Existence. Logic is natural to Logical Existence, and the opposite position, that it’s not, is logically (and naturally) untenable.\n\nLogical Proof: \n\n{P, P <-> Q, Q -> R} |= (P & Q) -> R\n\nConclusion: {P, Q, R}:\n\nThe syllogism not only “can” prove the Maker, but MUST, as the “Maker” is Logic (Logos)—the “Logically Coherent God” (or “One True God”)—and no syllogism exists or can be valid independent of the Logos (Pure Reason - Objective Logic) or while denying the self-evident nature of Logic (the Natural Cause and Logical Maker who is the True Origin and Rational Ruler of Reality - the Logos or “God of Reason and Truth”).\n\nTruth Table Analysis: \n\nvalid\n    ↓  ↓   ↓       ↓  \nPQR⎪P P↔Q Q→R╞(P&Q)→R\n――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTT⎪T TTT TTT  TTT TT\nTTF⎪T TTT TFF  TTT FF\nTFT⎪T TFF FTT  TFF TT\nTFF⎪T TFF FTF  TFF TF\nFTT⎪F FFT TTT  FFT TT\nFTF⎪F FFT TFF  FFT TF\nFFT⎪F FTF FTT  FFF TT\nFFF⎪F FTF FTF  FFF TF\n\nQ.E.D. \n",
