Rule of Conjunction/Proof Rule/Tableau Form

Proof Rule

Let $\phi$ and $\psi$ be two well-formed formulas in a tableau proof.

The Rule of Conjunction is invoked for $\phi$ and $\psi$ in the following manner:

Pool:    The pooled assumptions of each of $\phi$ and $\psi$      
Formula:    $\phi \land \psi$      
Description:    Rule of Conjunction      
Depends on:    Both of the lines containing $\phi$ and $\psi$      
Abbreviation:    $\operatorname {Conj}$ or $\land \II$      


Also denoted as

Sources which refer to this rule as the rule of adjunction may as a consequence give the abbreviation $\operatorname {Adj}$.
