Theorem negsym1 33663
Description: In the paper "On Variable Functors of Propositional Arguments", Lukasiewicz introduced a system that can handle variable connectives. This was done by introducing a variable, marked with a lowercase delta, which takes a wff as input. In the system, "delta 𝜑 " means that "something is true of 𝜑". The expression "delta 𝜑 " can be substituted with ¬ 𝜑, 𝜓𝜑, 𝑥𝜑, etc.

Later on, Meredith discovered a single axiom, in the form of ( delta delta ⊥ → delta 𝜑 ). This represents the shortest theorem in the extended propositional calculus that cannot be derived as an instance of a theorem in propositional calculus.

A symmetry with ¬. (Contributed by Anthony Hart, 4-Sep-2011.)
