Theorem
- $p \lor q \dashv \vdash q \lor p$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $p \lor q$ | Premise | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
3 | 2 | $q \lor p$ | Rule of Addition: $\lor \II_2$ | 2 | ||
4 | 4 | $p$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
5 | 4 | $q \lor p$ | Rule of Addition: $\lor \II_1$ | 4 | ||
6 | 1 | $q \lor p$ | Proof by Cases: $\text{PBC}$ | 1, 2 – 3, 4 – 5 | Assumptions 2 and 4 have been discharged |
$\blacksquare$
