Reaching transparent truth
... Truth is a generalization device insofar as it allows us to report that the conjunction of a set of sentences, or their disjunction, holds, without having to enumerate all sentences in the set, and even without having to know what sentences are in the set. For instance, if I accept the sentence (1) ...

Predicate logic
... Let a, b ∈ Z s.t. a and b are odd. Then by definition of odd a = 2m + 1.m ∈ Z and b = 2n + 1.n ∈ Z So ab = (2m + 1)(2n + 1) = 4mn + 2m + 2n + 1 = 2(2mn + m + n) + 1 and since m, n ∈ Z it holds that (2mn + m + n) ∈ Z, so ab = 2k + 1 for some k ∈ Z. Thus ab is odd by definition of odd. QED ...
