Plato's Forms: Possibly Proven
This article presents an attempt to logically prove the concept of "perfection" without having to define it; this is done by proposing the paradox that "causes are their own effects", meaning that all forms we observe through causality are underpinned by a non-existential qualia which we can for all intents and purposes equate to perfection.
