The Law of Noncontradiction

The Law of Noncontradiction is a fundamental principle in logic stating that something cannot both be true and false at the same time and in the same sense. In other words, if a statement is true, its contradictory cannot also be true simultaneously. For example, the statement "The light is on" and "The light is off" cannot both be true at the same time and place. This principle helps us maintain consistency in reasoning and avoids logical conflicts, ensuring that our conclusions are coherent and reliable.
