KK thesis

The KK thesis or KK principle is a principle of epistemic logic which states that "If you know that p is the case then you know that you know that p is the case."^[1] In formal notation the principle can be stated as: "Kp→KKp" (literally: "Knowing p implies the knowing of knowing p"). ^[2]
