Scharp on Replacing Truth
... that governs it is radically incomplete. For example, although the axioms of Scharp’s theory are provably safe, if you conjoin some of those axioms together the resulting conjunction is not provably safe. The theory on its own does not tell us whether these conjunctions are safe (see section 3 for m ...

Elementary Logic
... The contrapositive of the statement A ⇒ B is the statement (Not B) ⇒ (Not A). Unlike what we said above about the converse, it IS true that a statement and its contrapositive are equivalent. One way to see this is to notice that A ⇒ B is false only if A is true and B is false (see above), and the co ...

Algebraic Proof Systems
... A proof system f1 polynomially simulates a proof system f2 , if there exists a polynomial time computable function g such that for all ā ∈ {0, 1}∗ , f1 (g (ā)) = f2 (ā). Meaning: Given a proof ā of f2 (ā) in the second system, we can construct a proof g (ā) of the same tautology in the first s ...

There are two basic quantifiers used in logic one is universal quantifier which is denoted by the symbol “” and the other is existential quantifier which is denoted by the sy ...
