Validating the Pythagorean Theorem by Maclain Hunter: 

Premises:

P: Let P represent side (leg) a of a right triangle squared. 

Q: Let Q equal the square of side (leg) b of a right triangle. 

R: Let R equal side c (the hypotenuse) of a right triangle. Let R also equal the conjunction of P and Q. 

S: Assume the relationship between P, Q, and R is not valid and doesn’t represent the Pythagorean Theorem. 

Logical Argument (Proof):

{P, P <-> Q, Q <-> R, R <-> S} |= (P & Q) & (R & S)

Conclusion: (P & Q) & (R & S):

The logically valid relationship and structure, shown by the formal argument, between the premises {P, Q, R} representing the sides of a right triangle, validates the Pythagorean Theorem as a logically valid argument and structure. We prove the theorem here also through contradiction (ie - premise S). This assumption in premise S leads to paradox and contradiction since the relationship of these premises specifically represent the relationship between what these premise represent, which is, here, the sides of a right triangle, of an unfixed size. 

Therefore, the relationships are valid and display the same sort of objective logical relationship that the Pythagorean Theorem does, and that the sides of a given right angle do. When valid inputs are provided the theorem will produce the proper output, and like a logical proof the validity of the output (ie - c ^ 2) depends on the validity of the inputs (ie - a ^ 2 + b ^ 2). The theorem is valid, contingent upon the validity of a and b.
