Theorem

$p \downarrow p \dashv \vdash \neg p$

That is, the NOR of a proposition with itself corresponds to the negation operator.


Proof

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$p \downarrow p \vdash \neg p$
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 1 $p \downarrow p$ Premise (None)
2 1 $\neg \paren {p \lor p}$ Sequent Introduction 1 Definition of Logical NOR
3 1 $\neg p$ Sequent Introduction 2 Rule of Idempotence: Disjunction

$\Box$


By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$\neg p \vdash p \downarrow p$
