Type	Label	Description
Statement
1.2.13.2  Equality predicate for use by df-tru Even though it is not ordinarily part of propositional calculus, the equality predicate = is introduced here so that the soundness of definition df-tru 1405 can be checked by the same algorithm as is used for predicate calculus. Its first real use is in Axiom ax-8 1557 in the predicate calculus section below. For those who want propositional calculus to be self-contained, i.e., to use wff variables only, the alternate definition dftru2 1410 may be adopted and this subsection moved down to just above weq 1556 below. However, the use of dftru2 1410 as a definition requires a more elaborate definition checking algorithm that we prefer to avoid.
Syntax	cv 1401	This syntax construction states that a variable x, which has been declared to be a setvar variable by $f statement vx, is also a class expression. This can be justified informally as follows. We know that the class builder { y | y e. x } is a class by cab 2224. Since (when y is distinct from x) we have x = { y | y e. x } by cvjust 2233, we can argue that the syntax " class x " can be viewed as an abbreviation for " class { y | y e. x }". See the discussion under the definition of class in [Jech] p. 4 showing that "Every set can be considered to be a class." While it is tempting and perhaps occasionally useful to view cv 1401 as a "type conversion" from a setvar variable to a class variable, keep in mind that cv 1401 is intrinsically no different from any other class-building syntax such as cab 2224, cun 3218, or c0 3520. For a general discussion of the theory of classes and the role of cv 1401, see https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#class 1401. (The description above applies to set theory, not predicate calculus. The purpose of introducing class x here, and not in set theory where it belongs, is to allow us to express i.e. "prove" the weq 1556 of predicate calculus from the wceq 1402 of set theory, so that we don't overload the = connective with two syntax definitions. This is done to prevent ambiguity that would complicate some Metamath parsers.)
class x
Syntax	wceq 1402	Extend wff definition to include class equality. For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#class. (The purpose of introducing wff A = B here, and not in set theory where it belongs, is to allow us to express i.e. "prove" the weq 1556 of predicate calculus in terms of the wceq 1402 of set theory, so that we don't "overload" the = connective with two syntax definitions. This is done to prevent ambiguity that would complicate some Metamath parsers. For example, some parsers - although not the Metamath program - stumble on the fact that the = in x = y could be the = of either weq 1556 or wceq 1402, although mathematically it makes no difference. The class variables A and B are introduced temporarily for the purpose of this definition but otherwise not used in predicate calculus. See df-cleq 2231 for more information on the set theory usage of wceq 1402.)

Definition	df-tru 1405	Definition of the truth value "true", or "verum", denoted by T.. This is a tautology, as proved by tru 1406. In this definition, an instance of id 19 is used as the definiens, although any tautology, such as an axiom, can be used in its place. This particular id 19 instance was chosen so this definition can be checked by the same algorithm that is used for predicate calculus. This definition should be referenced directly only by tru 1406, and other proofs should depend on tru 1406 (directly or indirectly) instead of this definition, since there are many alternate ways to define T..

1.2.15  Truth tables: Operations on true and false constants For classical logic, truth tables can be used to define propositional logic operations, by showing the results of those operations for all possible combinations of true (T.) and false (F.). Although the intuitionistic logic connectives are not as simply defined, T. and F. do play similar roles as in classical logic and most theorems from classical logic continue to hold. Here we show that our definitions and axioms produce equivalent results for T. and F. as we would get from truth tables for /\ (conjunction aka logical 'and') wa 104, \/ (disjunction aka logical inclusive 'or') wo 720, -> (implies) wi 4, -. (not) wn 3, <-> (logical equivalence) df-bi 117, and \/_ (exclusive or) df-xor 1425.

1.2.16  Stoic logic indemonstrables (Chrysippus of Soli) The Greek Stoics developed a system of logic. The Stoic Chrysippus, in particular, was often considered one of the greatest logicians of antiquity. Stoic logic is different from Aristotle's system, since it focuses on propositional logic, though later thinkers did combine the systems of the Stoics with Aristotle. Jan Lukasiewicz reports, "For anybody familiar with mathematical logic it is self-evident that the Stoic dialectic is the ancient form of modern propositional logic" ( On the history of the logic of proposition by Jan Lukasiewicz (1934), translated in: Selected Works - Edited by Ludwik Borkowski - Amsterdam, North-Holland, 1970 pp. 197-217, referenced in "History of Logic" https://www.historyoflogic.com/logic-stoics.htm). For more about Aristotle's system, see barbara and related theorems. A key part of the Stoic logic system is a set of five "indemonstrables" assigned to Chrysippus of Soli by Diogenes Laertius, though in general it is difficult to assign specific ideas to specific thinkers. The indemonstrables are described in, for example, [Lopez-Astorga] p. 11 , [Sanford] p. 39, and [Hitchcock] p. 5. These indemonstrables are modus ponendo ponens (modus ponens) ax-mp 5, modus tollendo tollens (modus tollens) mto 672, modus ponendo tollens I mptnan 1472, modus ponendo tollens II mptxor 1473, and modus tollendo ponens (exclusive-or version) mtpxor 1475. The first is an axiom, the second is already proved; in this section we prove the other three. Since we assume or prove all of indemonstrables, the system of logic we use here is as at least as strong as the set of Stoic indemonstrables. Note that modus tollendo ponens mtpxor 1475 originally used exclusive-or, but over time the name modus tollendo ponens has increasingly referred to an inclusive-or variation, which is proved in mtpor 1474. This set of indemonstrables is not the entire system of Stoic logic.
Theorem	mptnan 1472	Modus ponendo tollens 1, one of the "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. See rule 1 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 , rule 1 on [Sanford] p. 40, and rule A3 in [Hitchcock] p. 5. Sanford describes this rule second (after mptxor 1473) as a "safer, and these days much more common" version of modus ponendo tollens because it avoids confusion between inclusive-or and exclusive-or. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 3-Jul-2016.)

Theorem	mptxor 1473	Modus ponendo tollens 2, one of the "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. Note that this uses exclusive-or \/_. See rule 2 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 , rule 4 on [Sanford] p. 39 and rule A4 in [Hitchcock] p. 5 . (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 2-Mar-2018.)
|- ph   &    |- ( ph \/_ ps )   =>    |- -. ps
Theorem	mtpor 1474	Modus tollendo ponens (inclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism. This is similar to mtpxor 1475, one of the five original "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. However, in Stoic logic this rule used exclusive-or, while the name modus tollendo ponens often refers to a variant of the rule that uses inclusive-or instead. The rule says, "if ph is not true, and ph or ps (or both) are true, then ps must be true". An alternate phrasing is, "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth". -- Sherlock Holmes (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1890: The Sign of the Four, ch. 6). (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 3-Jul-2016.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 11-Nov-2017.)
|- -. ph   &    |- ( ph \/ ps )   =>    |- ps
Theorem	mtpxor 1475	Modus tollendo ponens (original exclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism, similar to mtpor 1474, one of the five "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. The rule says, "if ph is not true, and either ph or ps (exclusively) are true, then ps must be true". Today the name "modus tollendo ponens" often refers to a variant, the inclusive-or version as defined in mtpor 1474. See rule 3 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 (note that the "or" is the same as mptxor 1473, that is, it is exclusive-or df-xor 1425), 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 mptxor 1473), and rule A5 in [Hitchcock] p. 5 (exclusive-or is expressly used).

Theorem	stoic1a 1476	Stoic logic Thema 1 (part a). The first thema of the four Stoic logic themata, in its basic form, was: "When from two (assertibles) a third follows, then from either of them together with the contradictory of the conclusion the contradictory of the other follows." (Apuleius Int. 209.9-14), see [Bobzien] p. 117 and https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-ancient/ We will represent thema 1 as two very similar rules stoic1a 1476 and stoic1b 1477 to represent each side. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 16-Feb-2019.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 21-May-2020.)

Theorem	stoic1b 1477	Stoic logic Thema 1 (part b). The other part of thema 1 of Stoic logic; see stoic1a 1476. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 16-Feb-2019.)
|- ( ( ph /\ ps ) -> th )   =>    |- ( ( ps /\ -. th ) -> -. ph )
Theorem	stoic2a 1478	Stoic logic Thema 2 version a. Statement T2 of [Bobzien] p. 117 shows a reconstructed version of Stoic logic thema 2 as follows: "When from two assertibles a third follows, and from the third and one (or both) of the two another follows, then this other follows from the first two." Bobzien uses constructs such as ph, ps |- ch; in Metamath we will represent that construct as ph /\ ps -> ch. This version a is without the phrase "or both"; see stoic2b 1479 for the version with the phrase "or both".

Theorem	stoic3 1480	Stoic logic Thema 3. Statement T3 of [Bobzien] p. 116-117 discusses Stoic logic thema 3. "When from two (assemblies) a third follows, and from the one that follows (i.e., the third) together with another, external external assumption, another follows, then other follows from the first two and the externally co-assumed one.

Theorem	stoic4a 1481	Stoic logic Thema 4 version a. Statement T4 of [Bobzien] p. 117 shows a reconstructed version of Stoic logic thema 4: "When from two assertibles a third follows, and from the third and one (or both) of the two and one (or more) external assertible(s) another follows, then this other follows from the first two and the external(s)." We use th to represent the "external" assertibles. This is version a, which is without the phrase "or both"; see stoic4b 1482 for the version with the phrase "or both". (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 17-Feb-2019.)
