Logical law
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
in mathematical logic
A logical formula that becomes a true proposition under any interpretation of the variables for propositions and predicates that occur in it. Such formulas are called generally valid, universally valid or tautologies. For example, the tautology $A\lor\neg A$ expresses the law of the excluded middle.
