Theorem dcnn 850

Description: Decidability of the negation of a proposition is equivalent to decidability of its double negation. See also dcn 844. The relation between dcn 844 and dcnn 850 is analogous to that between notnot 630 and notnotnot 635 (and directly stems from it). Using the notion of "testable proposition" (proposition whose negation is decidable), dcnn 850 means that a proposition is testable if and only if its negation is testable, and dcn 844 means that decidability implies testability.
