Other axiomatizations of classical propositional calculus
 
Theoremmeredith 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."

Theoremnicodraw 952 Axiom of Nicod from Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy B. Russell, p. 152. The axiom is recovered from this raw form by substituting (ph | ps) for -. (ph /\ ps), where | is the Sheffer stroke (NAND) connective, so that the Sheffer stroke becomes the sole connective. See nicodmpraw 953 for the inference rule. (Based on a proof by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)

Predicate calculus axiomatization
 
The axioms of predicate calculus
 
Syntaxwal 954 Extend wff definition to include the universal quantifier ('for all'). A.xph is read "ph (phi) is true for all x." Typically, in its final application ph would be replaced with a wff containing a (free) occurrence of the variable x, for example x = y. In a universe with a finite number of objects, "for all" is equivalent to a big conjunction (AND) with one wff for each possible case of x. When the universe is infinite (as with set theory), such a propositional-calculus equivalent is not possible because an infinitely long formula has no meaning, but conceptually the idea is the same.

Syntaxcv 955 This syntax construction states that a variable x, which has been declared to be a set variable by $f statement vx, is also a class expression. This can be justified informally as follows. We know that the class builder {y | y e. x} is a class by cab 1463. Since (when y is distinct from x) we have x = {y | y e. x} by cvjust 1471, we can argue that that the syntax "class x" can be viewed as an abbreviation for "class {y
