| Theorem | meredith 924 |
Carew Meredith's sole axiom for propositional calculus. This amazing
formula is thought to be the shortest possible single axiom for
propositional calculus with inference rule ax-mp 7,
where negation and
implication are primitive. Here we prove Meredith's axiom from ax-1 4,
ax-2 5, and ax-3 6. Then from it we derive the Lukasiewicz
axioms
luk-1 938, luk-2 939, and luk-3 940. Using these we finally re-derive our
axioms as ax1 949, ax2 950, and ax3 951, thus proving the equivalence of
all three systems. C. A. Meredith, "Single Axioms for the Systems
(C,N), (C,O) and (A,N) of the Two-Valued Propositional Calculus,"
The
Journal of Computing Systems vol. 3 (1953), pp. 155-164. Meredith
claimed to be close to a proof that this axiom is the shortest possible,
but the proof was apparently never completed.
An obscure Irish lecturer, Meredith (1904-1976) became enamored with logic somewhat late in life after attending talks by Lukasiewicz and produced many remarkable results such as this axiom. From his obituary: "He did logic whenever time and opportunity presented themselves, and he did it on whatever materials came to hand: in a pub, his favored pint of porter within reach, he would use the inside of cigarette packs to write proofs for logical colleagues." |
