Description: Syllogism deduction.
Notice that syld 45 has the same form as syl 14 with
added in front
of each hypothesis and conclusion. When all theorems referenced in a
proof are converted in this way, we can replace with a hypothesis
of the proof, allowing the hypothesis to be eliminated with id 19 and
become an antecedent. The Deduction Theorem for propositional calculus,
e.g., Theorem 3 in [Margaris] p. 56,
tells us that this procedure is
always possible. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (Proof shortened by
