Can this disjunction be eliminated?
Write $\alpha = a_1 \land a_2 \land \cdots \land a_n$, $\beta = b_1 \land b_2 \land \cdots \land b_n$. By properties of $\land$ we may assume $a_i = b_i$ or $a_i = \neg b_i$ for all $i$ and $a_1 = \...

How does propositional logic address the situation where the statement $(p \Rightarrow q)$ is false?
Many textbooks will note the following logical equivalence:
$P \to Q \Leftrightarrow \neg P \lor Q$
Different books may have different names for this principle (and some may not give it any name at ...

How does propositional logic address the situation where the statement $(p \Rightarrow q)$ is false?
How does propositional logic deal with the case when $(p \implies q)$ is false?
You can think of it as a counter-example. $(p \implies q)$ is falsified when $p$ is true and $q$ is false.
Also, I like ...
