Symbolic logic

Symbolic logic is a logical technique that allows reduction of a logical argument stated in natural language to mathematical logic. This helps to avoid issues of semantics that plague many logical debates. A proof in symbolic logic is only as true as its premises.

Example
Let A be defined as "Water has memory of chemicals dissolved in it." Let B be defined as "Nearly every chemical has been dissolved in the oceans at some point." Let C be defined as "The oceans have memory of nearly every chemical." Let D be defined as "The oceans are as effective a homeopathic treatment as anything you could buy."

Postulates: 1: A 2: B 3: A&B→C 4: C→D

Proof: Line a: By 1, 2, and 3: C Line b: By 4 and a:D

Conclusion: D
