6.1201

That e.g. the propositions “p” and “p” in the connexion “(p.~p)” give a tautology shows that they contradict one another. That the propositions “pq”, “p” and “q” connected together in the form “(pq).(p)::(q)” give a tautology shows that q follows from p and pq. That “(x).fx::fa” is a tautology shows that fa follows from (x).fx, etc. etc.
