| Description: The shortest single axiom for implicational calculus, due to Lukasiewicz. It is now known to be the unique shortest axiom. The axiom is proved here starting from { ax-1 6, ax-2 7 and peirce 202 }. (Contributed by Larry Lesyna and Jeffrey P. Machado, 18-Jul-2023.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) |
