tautology

A synchrony in which formalism and representation are continuous ie. "is-is-is" collapses to 'is' or the "ohm."

A continuity of being and having.

A frame in which self-cyclicality achieves linearity (continuity) and value IS meta-value and meta-value is value rendering the semantics of "state" untenable.

In a tautology "is" is 'is' (and 'is' is "is").

trology

When an author decides that there should be more than three books in his "trilogy" and continues writing after the first three books have already been published as a trilogy.

When David Eddings first wrote the "Belgariad", or when Joe Abercrombie wrote the "First Law Trology'. Both of which started out as a trilogy.

tautology

A logical statement in which the conclusion is equivalent to the premise

Example of a tautology: Bad people take drugs; therefore, people who take drugs are bad.
The other definition appearing here, "Unnecessary repetition of a word", is a crudification and wrong - such pointless reiterative repetition is a redundancy, and one who makes such a definition is called a "redundunce". Consult Fowler.
