Basis Properties
Since all axioms and rules of the calculus are schemata, derivation is closed under substitution:
- If then
where σ is any substitution (of formulas using only implication).
The implicational propositional calculus also satisfies the deduction theorem:
- If, then
As explained in the deduction theorem article, this holds for any axiomatic extension of the system consisting of axioms 1 and 2 above and modus ponens.

Famous quotes containing the words basis and/or properties:
“The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the ignominy, the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
