Given the following axioms:

For all A,B,C:

1) A+B=B+A

2) A+(B+C) =(A+B)=C

3) A.B=B.A

4) A.(B.C) = (A.B).C

5) A.(B+C)= A.B+A.C

6) A+0=A

7) A.1=A

8) A+(-A)=1

9) A.(-A)=0

10) Exactly one of the following:
A<B or B<A or A=B

11) A<B => A.C<B.C

12 [math] 1\neq 0 [/math]

Then prove using only the above axioms: 0<1

Do you mean $A\cdot0=0$? Also, don't you have an axiom that addition respects the order?

This page has some proof. Also, several proof assistants have this theorem in their libraries, but they may use a number of lemmas, i.e., their proofs may not be the shortest.

Why are such problems interesting to you? After looking at several examples, they seem routine. It may be interesting to develop a new, somehow better axiomatization of integers, for example, but axiomatization of rings and fields seems good enough.

No.

A.(-A) =0 ,but you can prove : A.0 =0

The above is a mix of axiomatics.

And the question is :

Can we prove : 0<1 w.r.t the above axiomatics,since w.r.t the axiom 10 we can have i<0 ,o<1,1=0??

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.
