    Leibniz Logic
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on proving the logical equivalence \frac{\urcorner P \equiv false}{P \equiv true} using Leibniz logic. The proof involves substituting \urcorner P with false and applying the substitution principle, demonstrating that \urcorner\urcorner P equates to P and \urcorner false equates to true. The conclusion confirms that the proof is valid, effectively showing that if \urcorner P is false, then P must be true. The application of negation and the principles of Leibniz logic are correctly utilized in this proof. Overall, the proof is affirmed as accurate and well-executed.

need to prove this

<br /> \frac{\urcorner P \equiv false}{P \equiv true}<br />

here is what I did
using Leibniz

<br /> \frac{X \equiv Y}{E[z:=X] \equiv E[z:=Y]}<br />

<br /> X=\urcorner P<br />

<br /> Y=false<br />

<br /> E:\urcorner z<br />

<br /> z=z<br />

<br /> \frac{\urcorner P \equiv false}{\urcorner\urcorner P \equiv \urcorner false}<br />

since \urcorner\urcorner P \equiv P
and \urcorner false \equiv true

<br /> \frac{\urcorner P \equiv false}{P \equiv true}<br />

is this a proof?

Yes, this is a valid proof using Leibniz logic. You have correctly applied the substitution principle and used the definitions of negation and false to show that \urcorner P \equiv false implies P \equiv true. Well done!
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
