Theorem biass 741

Description: Associative law for the biconditional. An axiom of system DS in Vladimir Lifschitz, "On calculational proofs" (1998), http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/lifschitz98calculational.html. Interestingly, this law was not included in Principia Mathematica but was apparently first noted by Jan Lukasiewicz circa 1923. (The proof was shortened by Juha Arpiainen, 19-Jan-06.)
