Supplement to Natural Deduction Systems in Logic
Long descriptions for some figures in Natural Deduction Systems in Logic
Figure 1 description
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are displaying the same proof in three different ways. Figure 1 displays it in Gentzen style which is tree like with the conclusion as the root and bottom. The following description is from the bottom up. Each line mentioned is either the length of the stuff (which could be root of several different branches) immediately above or the length of the item immediately below, whichever is longer. Each branch ends with a leaf: a statement with a crossed out number above it.
- “\((((p\rightarrow q) \land (\neg r\rightarrow \neg q))\rightarrow(p\rightarrow r))\)” (the root and conclusion)
- above is a line labeled “\(\rightarrow\)-I (1)”
- above and centered is “\((p\rightarrow r)\)”

Figure 3 description
Figures 1, 2, and 3 are displaying the same proof in three different ways. Figure 3 displays it in the Fitch style. The number of each step is on the far left. A sublist indicates a subproof and each subproof has a vertical line on the left for the full height of the subproof (the step numbers as to the left of this). The words “fitch bar” indicate a short horizontal bar between the preceding and succeeding lines. The word “rule:” doesn't actually appear but indicates what follows, the rule, is on the far right.
