AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around proving the statement A v C using logical reasoning. The initial steps correctly establish A v C and ~B v C, followed by subproofs for B and ~B, leading to a contradiction. This contradiction supports the conclusion of ~B v C. Further subproofs for A and C are introduced, but the final step, proving A v C using vINTRO, is questioned. Participants seek clarification on the meaning of vINTRO and the context of the class related to this logical proof.

The question asks you to prove A v C

This is what I have. Everything is correct until the last question, #11

1. A V C
2. ~BvC
3.(new subproof) B
4. (new subproof ~B
5. contradiction contradiction intro 4,3
(end subproof from 4-5)
6. ~BvC V Intro 2
(end subproof from 3-6)
7. (new subproof) A
8. A v B vINTRO 1
(end subproof from 7-8)

9.(new subproof) C
10. ~BvC (vINTRO 2)
(end subproof 9-10)
11.A v C VINTRO ?


Thanks!

Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
