corollary

corollary
Noun

This term carries a strong logical or mathematical flavor, suggesting a relationship of necessity where one truth automatically triggers another. It is most frequently used in formal, academic, or legal discourse to describe a secondary result that is an inevitable byproduct of a primary action or discovery.

As a noun, it describes the result itself, while as an adjective, it characterizes the nature of the relationship. It differs from a simple consequence by implying a structural or logical link rather than just a chronological sequence of events.
