Theorem mtp-xor 1536
Description: Modus tollendo ponens (original exclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism, one of the five "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. The rule says, "if φ is not true, and either φ or ψ (exclusively) are true, then ψ must be true." Today the name "modus tollendo ponens" often refers to a variant, the inclusive-or version as defined in mtp-or 1538. See rule 3 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 (note that the "or" is the same as mpto2 1534, that is, it is exclusive-or df-xor 1305), rule 3 of [Sanford] p. 39 (where it is not as clearly stated which kind of "or" is used but it appears to be in the same sense as mpto2 1534), and rule A5 in [Hitchcock] p. 5 (exclusive-or is expressly used).
