Axiom ax-1 6

Description: Axiom Simp. Axiom A1 of [Margaris] p. 49. One of the axioms of propositional calculus. This axiom is called Simp or "the principle of simplification" in Principia Mathematica (Theorem *2.02 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 100) because "it enables us to pass from the joint assertion of ph and ps to the assertion of ph simply."

The theorems of propositional calculus are also called tautologies. Although classical propositional logic tautologies can be proved using truth tables, there is no similarly simple system for intuitionistic propositional logic, so proving tautologies from axioms is the preferred approach.
