  • Fix a first order language , Define a formal deductive system (abbr. ) bythe following axioms and rules of deduction.

    • Axioms
      Let be any wfs. of . The following are axioms of :

      • : .
      • : .
      • : .
      • : , if does not occur free in .
      • : , if is a wf. of and is a term in which is free for in .
      • : , if contains no free occurrence of the variable .
    • Rules

      • Modus ponens(MP): from and deduce .
      • Generalisation: from deduce , where is any variable.
  • A proof in is a sequence of wfs. such that for each , either is an axiom of or follows from previous members of the sequence by MP or Generalisation.

  • If is a set of wfs. of , a deduction from in is a similar sequence, in which members of may be included.

  • A wf. is a theorem of if it is the last member of some sequence which constitutes a proof in .

  • A wf. is a consequence in of the set of wfs. if is the last member of a sequence which constitutes a deduction from in .

  • Write to denote “ is a theorem of ”, and to denote “ is a consequence in of ”, where is a set of wfs. of .

  • For the sake of convenience we shall abbreviate to unless there is reason to emphasise the particular language being used.

  • Let and be wfs. of . Say and are provably equivalent if .

  • If is a wf. of containing free occurrences of the variables only,
    then wf. is the universal closure of .The universal closure of is usually denoted by .

  1. If is a wf. of and is tautology, then is a theorem of .
  2. All instances of axiom schemes (K4), (K5) and (K6) are logically valid.
  3. The Soundness Theorem for K: For any wf. of , if then is logically valid.
  4. K is consistent (i.e. for no wf. are both and theorems of K).
  5. The Deduction Theorem for :Let and be wfs. of , and let be set (possibly empty) of wfs. of . If , and the deduction contains no application of Generalisation involving a variable which occurs free in , then

  12. Let and be wfs. of , and suppose that arises from the wf. by substituting for one or more occurrences of in . Then .
  13. If does not appear (free or bound) in the wf. , and the wf. arises from by replacing one or more occurrences of by occurrences of , then
