    A flowchart outlines the four logical properties - tautologousness, self-contradictoriness, contingency, and self-consistency - by using a propositional form X and possibility operator  to determine if X is possible true or possibly false, leading to a classification of the proposition as self-consistent, self-contradictory, contingent, or tautologous. The flowchart is accompanied by a handout defining and providing examples of each logical property.

    All four logical propertiestautologousness, self-contradictoriness, contingency, and self-consistencyare accounted


    for in this flowchart. Let X represent a propositional form. The symbol is the possibility operator. It is to be read
    as It is possible that. The expression X? is to be read as Is it possible for X to be true?
    X?
    Yes.

    No.

    X is self-consistent.

    X is self-contradictory.

    X?
    Yes.
    X is contingent.

    No.
    X is tautologous.

    See the handout entitled Logical Properties of Propositional Forms for definitions and examples.
