| Validity SD Logic Problem Show that the following argument is valid in SD. (I will use "⊃" to show conditional.) Code: (E v (L v M)) & (E ≡ F) L ⊃ D D ⊃ ~ L ---------------------- E v M I'm only allowed to use the basic derivation rules of SD: Code: Reiteration (R) Conjunction Intro. (&I) and Conjunction Elim. (&E) Conditional Intro. (⊃I) and Conditional Elim. (⊃E) Negation Intro. (~I) and Negation Elim. (~E) Disjunction Intro. (vI) and Disjunction Elim. (vE) Biconditional Intro. (≡I) and Biconditional Elim. (≡E) My attempts at a solution have not been very successful, but this is what I have come up with so far: Code: 1. (E v (L v M)) & (E ≡ F) [assumption] 2. L ⊃ D [assumption] 3. D ⊃ ~ L [assumption] ------ 4. ~(E v M) [subproof1open: assumption] --- 5. L [subproof2open: assumption] --- 6. L [subproof2close: 5R] 7. M [subproof2open: assumption] --- 8. ~L [subproof3open: assumption] --- 9. L [subproof3: ????] 10. ~ L [subproof3close: 8R] 11. L [subproof2close: 8-10~E] 12. D [subproof1: 3-13⊃E] 13. L [subproof1: 5-6,7-11vE] 14. ~ L [subproof1close: 3-12⊃E] 15. E v M [4-14~E] Any help at all would be great, thanks in advance. |
