Christian Thiel on Substitution - Dictionary of Arguments
Thiel I 92 Substitution/Thiel: >Substitution rule: if you replace all equal letters with the same correct formula or another letter. >Separation rule: A,A > B >>B (?) So "if, then" are introduced by simple rules, negation of a statement ..+... def "designated formula".... "allocation". >modus ponens, >Introduction. I 95 Some of the formulas formed with the help of the newly added negation sign are not designated formulas. For example, one of the assignments of the formula ~~p > p is the expression (~~1) >1. Its value is calculated according to the tables as (~~1) x 1 = (~2) x 1 = 0 x 1 = 1 The assignment also receives 0 > (~~0) of the formula p > ~~p the value 0 x (~~0) = 0 x (~1) = 0 x 2 = 1. If the value is different from 0, there is no designated formula regarding our table. >Formulas._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
