Theorem
- $\vdash \neg \paren {p \iff q} \iff \paren {p \iff \neg q}$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
| Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | $\neg \paren {p \iff q}$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
| 2 | 1 | $p \iff \neg q$ | Sequent Introduction | 1 | Non-Equivalence as Equivalence with Negation: Formulation 1 | |
| 3 | $\paren {\neg \paren {p \iff q} } \implies \paren {p \iff \neg q}$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 1 – 2 | Assumption 1 has been discharged | ||
| 4 | 4 | $p \iff \neg q$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
| 5 | 4 | $\neg \paren {p \iff q}$ | Sequent Introduction | 4 | Non-Equivalence as Equivalence with Negation: Formulation 1 | |
| 6 | $\paren {p \iff \neg q} \implies \paren {\neg \paren {p \iff q} }$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 4 – 5 | Assumption 4 has been discharged | ||
| 7 | $\paren {\neg \paren {p \iff q} } \iff \paren {p \iff \neg q}$ | Biconditional Introduction: $\iff \II$ | 3, 6 |
