Type	Label	Description
Statement
Definition	df-tru 1401	Definition of the truth value "true", or "verum", denoted by T.. This is a tautology, as proved by tru 1402. 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 1402, and other proofs should depend on tru 1402 (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 716, -> (implies) wi 4, -. (not) wn 3, <-> (logical equivalence) df-bi 117, and \/_ (exclusive or) df-xor 1421.

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 668, modus ponendo tollens I mptnan 1468, modus ponendo tollens II mptxor 1469, and modus tollendo ponens (exclusive-or version) mtpxor 1471. 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 1471 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 1470. This set of indemonstrables is not the entire system of Stoic logic.
Theorem	mptnan 1468	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 1469) 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.)
|- ph   &    |- -. ( ph /\ ps )   =>    |- -. ps
Theorem	mptxor 1469	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 1470	Modus tollendo ponens (inclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism. This is similar to mtpxor 1471, 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 1471	Modus tollendo ponens (original exclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism, similar to mtpor 1470, 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 1470. See rule 3 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 (note that the "or" is the same as mptxor 1469, that is, it is exclusive-or df-xor 1421), 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 1469), and rule A5 in [Hitchcock] p. 5 (exclusive-or is expressly used).

Theorem	stoic1a 1472	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 1472 and stoic1b 1473 to represent each side.

Theorem	stoic2a 1474	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 1475 for the version with the phrase "or both". We already have this rule as syldan 282, so here we show the equivalence and discourage its use. (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 17-Feb-2019.)

Theorem	stoic3 1476	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.

We use th to represent the "external" assertibles. This is version a, which is without the phrase "or both"; see stoic4b 1478 for the version with the phrase "or both". (Contributed by David A.

Theorem	dcfromnotnotr 1493	The decidability of a proposition ps follows from a suitable instance of double negation elimination (DNE). Therefore, if we were to introduce DNE as a general principle (without the decidability condition in notnotrdc 851), then we could prove that every proposition is decidable, giving us the classical system of propositional calculus (since DNE itself is classically valid).

Theorem	dcfromcon 1494	The decidability of a proposition ch follows from a suitable instance of the principle of contraposition. Therefore, if we were to introduce contraposition as a general principle (without the decidability condition in condc 861), then we could prove that every proposition is decidable, giving us the classical system of propositional calculus (since the principle of contraposition is itself classically valid).

1.3  Predicate calculus mostly without distinct variables
1.3.1  Universal quantifier (continued) The universal quantifier was introduced above in wal 1396 for use by df-tru 1401. See the comments in that section. In this section, we continue with the first "real" use of it.

|- ( A. x ( ph -> ps ) -> ( A. x ph -> A. x ps ) )
Axiom	ax-7 1497	Axiom of Quantifier Commutation. This axiom says universal quantifiers can be swapped. One of the predicate logic axioms which do not involve equality. Axiom scheme C6' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). Also appears as Lemma 12 of [Monk2] p. 109 and Axiom C5-3 of [Monk2] p. 113. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
|- ( A. x A. y ph -> A. y A. x ph )
Axiom	ax-gen 1498	Rule of Generalization. The postulated inference rule of predicate calculus. See, e.g., Rule 2 of [Hamilton] p. 74. This rule says that if something is unconditionally true, then it is true for all values of a variable. For example, if we have proved x = x, we can conclude A. x x = x or even A. y x = x. Theorem spi 1585 shows we can go the other way also: in other words we can add or remove universal quantifiers from the beginning of any theorem as required. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
