1 Math 4680, Toics i Logic ad Coutatio, Witer 2012 Lecture Notes 5: Fitch style atural deductio Peter Seliger 1 Prawitz style vs Fitch style I revious lecture otes, we have used the Prawitz style resetatio of atural deductio: a deductio is a certai kid of tree whose leaves rereset hyotheses, ad whose root reresets a coclusio These trees are colicated by two facts: first, soeties hyotheses are discharged ( crossed out ) durig a roof, ad secod, the freshess coditios i the quatifier rules require that certai variables do ot occur freely i the hyothesis ad coclusios of certai subtrees, excludig hyotheses that have already bee discharged at the tie the quatifier rule is alied There is also a certai ractical disadvatage to writig roofs as trees: large roofs ted to be uch wider tha they are high, so oe quickly rus out of sace Here, we briefly describe a alterative otatio for atural deductio derivatios, called the Fitch style otatio It is ore liear, i the sese that a roof is essetially a list of forulas, oe o each lie, ad forulas o later lies are eat to be cosequeces of forulas o earlier lies Istead of crossig out hyotheses, the Fitch style otatio uses idetatio to idicate a subderivatio usig a teorary hyothesis 2 First exales Here is a exale of a derivatio of, C, C: 1 2 C 3 4 E,1,2 5 C E,2,4 Note that lies 1 3 cotai hyotheses; each subsequet lie is justified by a rule Soeties a derivatio cotais a subderivatio that deeds o a hyothetical, or teorary, assutio Such subderivatios are ideted ad arked with aother vertical lie For exale, here is a derivatio of, C C: 1 2 C 3 4 E,1,2 5 C E,2,4 6 C I,3 5 O lie 3, we teorarily assue Lies 4 ad 5 are cosequeces The subderivatio eds o lie 5 with coclusioc; therefore, oe has roved C at the ext level u o lie 6 I its silest for, a Fitch style atural deductio is just a list of ubered lies, each cotaiig a forula, such that each forula is either a hyothesis (searated fro the rest of the roof by a horizotal lie), or else follows fro revious forulas (idicated by a rule ae ad lie ubers of relevat forulas) The very last lie i the derivatio cotais the coclusio 1 2

3 4 Rearks The bicoditioal ( ) To silify our foral roof syste, we do ot itroduce ay secial rules for the coective Istead, we sily regard the forula as a abbreviatio for( ) ( ) Falsity ( ) The sybol stads for cotradictio or falsity The forula is always false, ad it is used i the rules for egatio ad cotradictio above Negatio ( ) s we have doe before, it is ossible to regard egatio as a abbreviatio for I this case, the egatio itroductio ad eliiatio rules are sily istaces of the ilicatio itroductio ad eliiatio rules Reetitio (R) Let be a forula writte at liek (either as a hyothesis, or as a forula already rove) The oe ca reeatat lie if: (1)k <, ad (2) every vertical fro lie k cotiues without iterrutio to lie Exales of reetitio: Quatifiers I the rules for quatifiers: ut ot this: i E ad I,tis ay ter k R,k i I ad E, u is a fresh variable Here fresh eas that this variable does ot occur aywhere else i the derivatio It ay oly occur i the subderivatio fro lies The u that is writte betwee the vertical lies o lie is called a guard it serves as a reider that u ust be fresh i this subderivatio I articular, this eas that o forula cotaiig u ca be iorted (reeated) ito lies fro outside lies lso, this eas that u caot occur i the forula ϕ i lies ad +1 of E This is ok: k R, k This too: k R,k 5 6
