Let:

1)P be one place operation

2)K be one place operation

3) c be a constant


let :

1) G be a two place predicate

2) H be a two place predicate

Let :

The following axioms or assumptions)

1)for all A { H(A,c)v H(c,A)v G(A,c)}

2)for all A { H(A,c)=> G[P(A),A]}

3)for all A {H(c,A) => G[P(A),K(A)]}

4)for all A {G[K(A),c] => G(A,c)}.

5)for all A,B,C { [G(A,B) and G(A,C)]=> G(B,C)}

Then formally prove :

for all A {G[P(A),c] => G(A,c)}

Sounds like an interesting exercise, I'll try it later.
Have you finished it yet, or are you just fishing around for the answer? :-)
 
Just got home from work and had a serious look at the problem.
It's an interesting problem.
I found the way to do it, but I haven't written down the complete formal proof because I don't really feel like proving OR elimination for three variables at this point (i.e. { A v B v C, A => D, B => D, C => D } |= D).
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
