Knowledge is fundamentally defined in epistemology through its relationship to propositions, as seen in the requirement that a person must hold a justified, true belief in a proposition to possess knowledge [1], [2], and [3]. Furthermore, knowledge is often analyzed by the causal or logical connections between a knower and the truth of a specific proposition [4], [5], [6], and [7].

formulaThe closure principle states that if an individual knows a proposition 'p', and they know that 'p' entails 'q', then they know that 'q'.

formulaThe definition of knowledge accepted by both skeptics and non-skeptics implies two conditions: (1) if a person knows a proposition p, then p must be true, and (2) if a person knows a proposition p, then it is logically impossible for that person to be mistaken.
claimSome philosophers argue that if a person's knowledge that a proposition p is true is occurrent rather than merely dispositional, it implies certainty that p is true.

claimTruth is a requirement for knowledge, but it is a distinct requirement from justification; one cannot know a proposition to be true if that proposition is false.
