Syntax Definition wn 3
Description: If 𝜑 is a wff, so is ¬ 𝜑 or "not 𝜑." Part of the recursive definition of a wff (well-formed formula). Traditionally, Greek letters are used to represent wffs, and we follow this convention. In propositional calculus, we define only wffs built up from other wffs, i.e. there is no starting or "atomic" wff. Later, in predicate calculus, we will extend the basic wff definition by including atomic wffs (weq 1464 and wel 1466).
Hypothesis
Ref Expression
wph wff 𝜑
