Hilbert Proof System Instance 2 Independence Results


This page has been identified as a candidate for refactoring of advanced complexity.
In particular: Experimental setup, we don't have anything like this yet. Subpages, categories, etc. should be considered.
Until this has been finished, please leave {{Refactor}} in the code.

New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only.

Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.

To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page.
When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Refactor}} from the code.


Theorem

Let $\mathscr H_2$ be Instance 2 of the Hilbert proof systems.


Then the following independence results hold:


Independence of $(A1)$

Axiom $(A1)$ is independent from $(A2)$, $(A3)$, $(A4)$.


Independence of $(A2)$

Axiom $(A2)$ is independent from $(A1)$, $(A3)$, $(A4)$.


Independence of $(A3)$

Axiom $(A3)$ is independent from $(A1)$, $(A2)$, $(A4)$.


Independence of $(A4)$

Axiom $(\text A 4)$ is independent from $(\text A 1)$, $(\text A 2)$, $(\text A 3)$.


$RST \, 4$ is Derivable

Rule of inference $RST \, 4$ is derivable from $RST \, 1, RST \, 2, RST \, 3$ and the axioms $(A1)$ through $(A4)$.
