| Description: Law of excluded middle,
for a decidable proposition.  The law of the
     excluded middle is also called the principle of tertium non datur.
     Theorem *2.11 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 101.  It says that
something is
     either true or not true; there are no in-between values of truth.  The key
     way in which intuitionistic logic differs from classical logic is that
     intuitionistic logic says that excluded middle only holds for some
     propositions, and classical logic says that it holds for all propositions.
