For instance, consider the assumption \( \mathbb{T}\varphi \land \neg \varphi \) . Here is the (open) tableau consisting of just that assumption:\n\n\[ \text{1.}\mathbb{T}\varphi \land \neg \varphi \;\text{Assumption} \]
We obtain a new tableau from it by applying the \( \land \mathbb{T} \) rule to the assumption. That rule allows us to add two new lines to the tableau, \( \mathbb{T}\varphi \) and \( \mathbb{T}\neg \varphi \) :\n\n\[ \begin{matrix} \text{ 1. } & \mathbb{T}\varphi \land \neg \varphi & \text{ Assumption } \\ \text{ 2. } ...

Let’s find a closed tableau for the sentence \( \left( {\varphi \land \psi }\right) \rightarrow \varphi \) .
We begin by writing the corresponding assumption at the top of the tableau.\n\n\[ \text{1.}\mathbb{F}\left( {\varphi \land \psi }\right) \rightarrow \varphi \;\text{Assumption} \]\n\nThere is only one assumption, so only one signed formula to which we can apply a rule.

Now let’s find a closed tableau for \( \left( {\neg \varphi \vee \psi }\right) \rightarrow \left( {\varphi \rightarrow \psi }\right) \).
We begin with the corresponding assumption:\n\n\[ \text{1.}\;\mathbb{F}\left( {\neg \varphi \vee \psi }\right) \rightarrow \left( {\varphi \rightarrow \psi }\right) \;\text{Assumption} \]\n\nThe one signed formula in this tableau has main operator \( \rightarrow \) and sign \( \mathbb{F} \), so we apply the \( \rightar...
Yes
Example 11.6. We can give tableaux for any number of signed formulas as assumptions. Often it is also necessary to apply more than one rule that allows branching; and in general a tableau can have any number of branches. For instance, consider a tableau for \( \{ \mathbb{T}\varphi \vee \left( {\psi \land \chi }\right) ...
We start by applying the \( \vee \mathbb{T} \) to the first assumption:\n\n![c5962287-92b4-4003-ac67-b592d0231929_155_2.jpg](images/c5962287-92b4-4003-ac67-b592d0231929_155_2.jpg)\n\nNow we can apply the \( \land \mathbb{F} \) rule to line 2 . We do this on both branches simultaneously, and can therefore check off line...

Suppose we want to prove \( \left( {\neg \theta \vee \alpha }\right) \rightarrow \left( {\theta \rightarrow \alpha }\right) \)
Clearly, this is not an instance of any of our axioms, so we have to use the MP rule to derive it.

Theorem 13.6 (Completeness Theorem). Let \( \Gamma \) be a set of sentences. If \( \Gamma \) is consistent, it is satisfiable.

Lemma 14.8. The number of left and right parentheses in a formula \( \varphi \) are equal.

Proof. The formation rules require that if a formula is not atomic, it must start with an opening parenthesis (, -, or with a quantifier. On the other hand, every formula that start with one of the following symbols must be atomic: a predicate symbol, a function symbol, a constant symbol, \( \bot \) .\n\nSo we really o...
Yes
Consider the following formula:\n\n\[ \exists {v}_{0}\underset{\psi }{\underbrace{{A}_{0}^{2}\left( {{v}_{0},{v}_{1}}\right) }} \]
\( \psi \) represents the scope of \( \exists {v}_{0} \) . The quantifier binds the occurence of \( {v}_{0} \) in \( \psi \) , but does not bind the occurence of \( {v}_{1} \) . So \( {v}_{1} \) is a free variable in this case.

Corollary 14.39. If \( \varphi \) is a sentence and \( s \) a variable assignment, then \( \mathfrak{M}, s \vDash \varphi \) iff \( \mathfrak{M},{s}^{\prime } \vDash \varphi \) for every variable assignment \( {s}^{\prime } \) .
Proof. Let \( {s}^{\prime } \) be any variable assignment. Since \( \varphi \) is a sentence, it has no free variables, and so every variable assignment \( {s}^{\prime } \) trivially assigns the same things to all free variables of \( \varphi \) as does \( s \) . So the condition of Proposition 14.38 is satisfied, and ...
