Theorem
- $p \lor \bot \dashv \vdash p$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $p \lor \bot$ | Premise | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
3 | 3 | $\bot$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
4 | 3 | $p$ | Rule of Explosion: $\bot \EE$ | 3 | ||
5 | 1 | $p$ | Proof by Cases: $\text{PBC}$ | 1, 2 – 2, 3 – 4 | Assumptions 2 and 3 have been discharged |
