Among propositional principles, some are self-evident and do not require a new demonstration at that point. Others are originally theoretical but are accepted as premises for a particular inquiry.
For example, a teacher may use a previously established theorem in a new proof. It functions as a premise, but that does not transform it into a self-evident axiom.
This distinction separates what is immediately evident from what is granted or already established for present purposes.
