INTRO LOGIC
This overview provides an in-depth examination of key concepts in sentential and predicate logic for PL3 students. It covers translations and derivations with a focus on various exam types, including practice questions and strategies for successful completion. Key rules such as Universal Derivation and Existential Out are outlined, alongside examples demonstrating their application. Ideal for students looking to reinforce their understanding and preparation for upcoming assessments in logical reasoning.

Rules to be Introduced Today Tilde-Universal Out O Tilde-Existential-Out O
Tilde-Universal Out (O) –––––– • is any variable • is any (official) formula example xHx –––––– xHx not everyone is H –––––––––––––– someone is not H
Tilde-Existential Out (O) –––––– • is any variable • is any (official) formula example xHx –––––– xHx no one is H –––––––––––––– everyone is un H = not anyone is H
SL Rules that are Often Useful in Connection with O and O O &O • () ––––––––– • & • ( & ) ––––––––– •
Example 1 not every F is H / some F is un-H (1) x(Fx Hx) Pr (2) : x(Fx & Hx) DD (3) x(Fx Hx) 1, O (4) (Fa Ha) 3, O (5) Fa & Ha 4, O (6) x(Fx & Hx) 5, I
Example 2 every F is G ; no G is H / no F is H (1) x(Fx Gx) Pr (2) x(Gx & Hx) Pr (3) : x(Fx & Hx) D (4) x(Fx & Hx) As (5) : DD (6) x(Gx & Hx) 2, O (7) Fa & Ha 4, O (8) Fa Ga 1, O (9) (Ga & Ha) 6, O (10) Fa 7, &O (11) Ha (12) Ga 8,10, O (13) Ga Ha 9, &O (14) Ha 12,13, O (15) 11,14, I
New Strategy/Rule; D • : • • : • ° • ° • is any variable D is any (official) formula As D is a species of ID DD
Example 1 Re-done Using ID (1) x(Fx Hx) Pr (2) : x(Fx & Hx) D (ID) (3) x(Fx & Hx) As (4) : DD (5) x(Fx Hx) 1, O (6) x(Fx & Hx) 3, O (7) (Fa Ha) 5, O (8) (Fa & Ha) 6, O (9) Fa & Ha 7, O (10) Fa Ha 8, &O (11) Fa 9, &O (12) Ha (13) Ha 10,11, O (14) 12,13, I
Example 3a (using ID) (1) x(Fx Gx) Pr (2) x(Fx & Hx) Pr (3) : x(Gx & Hx) D(ID) (4) x(Gx & Hx) As (5) : DD (6) Fa & Ha 2, O (7) Fa Ga 1, O (8) x(Gx & Hx) 4, O (9) Fa 6, &O (10) Ha (11) Ga 7,9, O (12) (Ga & Ha) 8, O (13) Ga Ha 12, &O (14) Ha 11,13, O (15) 10,14, I
Example 3b (using DD) (1) x(Fx Gx) Pr (2) x(Fx & Hx) Pr (3) : x(Gx & Hx) DD(…I) (4) Fa & Ha 2, O (5) Fa Ga 1, O (6) Fa 4, &O (7) Ha (8) Ga 5,6, O (9) Ga & Ha 7,8, &I (10) x(Gx & Hx) 9, I
Example 4 if anyone is F, then everyone is unH/ if someone is F, then no one is H (1) x(Fx yHy) Pr (2) : xFx yHy CD (3) xFx As (4) : yHy D (5) yHy As (6) : DD (7) Fa 3, O (8) Fa yHy 1, O (9) Hb 5, O (10) yHy 7,8, O (11) Hb 10, O (12) 9,11, I
Example 5 if someone is F, then someone is unH/ if anyone is F, then not-everyone is H (1) xFx yHy Pr (2) : x(Fx yHy) UD (3) : FayHy CD (4) Fa As (5) : yHy ID (6) yHy As (7) : DD (8) xFx 4, I (9) yHy 1,8, O (10) Hb 9, O (11) Hb 6, O (12) 10,11 O
