Theorems

These are expressions that are tautologies or truth-functionally true,
meaning that they are evaluated as T for every assignment of truth
values to the variables. Many systems employ the rule of necessitation,
in which if P is a theorem of the logic, []P can be introduced into a
proof. This can also be used here, because according to the truth
tables, []P is true for every tautology.

This is only a preliminary list: Other theorems will be added in future
versions. Also, a bare list without interpretation or commentary isn't
very interesting. More will be added later.
