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?

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 ...
