Description: Axiom Simp. Axiom A1 of [Margaris] p. 49. One of the 3 axioms of propositional calculus. The 3 axioms are also given as Definition 2.1 of [Hamilton] p. 28. This axiom is called Simp or "the principle of simplification" in Principia Mathematica (Theorem *2.02 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 100) because "it enables us to pass from the joint assertion of 𝜑 and 𝜓 to the assertion of 𝜑 simply". It is Proposition 1 of [Frege1879] p. 26, its first axiom. (Contributed by NM, 30-Sep-1992.) |
