  "content": "Things Happen by Maclain Hunter:\n\nPremises: \n\nP: Assume for a moment that “nothing is happening” and that nothing could “happen”. That leads to logical contradiction since nothing is not a positively extant concept that can occur or “be” (happening). \n\nQ: The concept of “nothing” cannot happen, and all must happen so that there is not a thing that is “doing nothing”, and so that there is not a case where “nothing is happening”. \n\nR: What happens does so within and in some kind of (coherent or incoherent) logical relationship to the Logic and Logical Structure of the Cosmos - called the Logos in theology and philosophy, and referring to the Logic inherent in the Natural Order and/or the First Cause of Logic and Existence. \n\nS: Assume for a moment that something is happening that is not logically coherent or logically derived. That would be a logical contradiction and/or incoherent. \n\nFormal Argument: \n\n{P, Q, R, S} |= (P <-> Q) <-> (R & S)\n\nConclusion: \n\nThings happen because nothing must be “not happening” and all that can happen must happen to prevent “nothing” from somehow “happening” (and being what exists or “is”).\n\nTruth Table: \n\nvalid\n     ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓      ↓      \nPQRS⎪P Q R S╞(P↔Q)↔(R&S)\n―――――――――――――――――――――――――\nTTTT⎪T T T T  TTT T TTT \nTTTF⎪T T T F  TTT F TFF \nTTFT⎪T T F T  TTT F FFT \nTTFF⎪T T F F  TTT F FFF \nTFTT⎪T F T T  TFF F TTT \nTFTF⎪T F T F  TFF T TFF \nTFFT⎪T F F T  TFF T FFT \nTFFF⎪T F F F  TFF T FFF \nFTTT⎪F T T T  FFT F TTT \nFTTF⎪F T T F  FFT T TFF \nFTFT⎪F T F T  FFT T FFT \nFTFF⎪F T F F  FFT T FFF \nFFTT⎪F F T T  FTF T TTT \nFFTF⎪F F T F  FTF F TFF \nFFFT⎪F F F T  FTF F FFT \nFFFF⎪F F F F  FTF F FFF \n\nQ.E.D.",
