Proof Rule
Let $\phi \implies \psi$ and $\psi \implies \phi$ be two conditional statements involving the two well-formed formulas $\phi$ and $\psi$ in a tableau proof.
Biconditional Introduction is invoked for $\phi$ and $\psi$ in the following manner:
Pool: | The pooled assumptions of each of $\phi \implies \psi$ and $\psi \implies \phi$ | ||||||||
Formula: | $\phi \iff \psi$ | ||||||||
Description: | Biconditional Introduction | ||||||||
Depends on: | Both of the lines containing $\phi \implies \psi$ and $\psi \implies \phi$ | ||||||||
Abbreviation: | $\mathrm {BI}$ or $\iff \II$ |
Also denoted as
Sources which refer to this rule as the conditional-biconditional rule may as a consequence give the abbreviation $\mathrm {CB}$.
