Disjunction and Existence Properties - Existence Property Implies Disjunction Property

Existence Property Implies Disjunction Property

To prove the numerical existence property implies the disjunction property is trivial since a disjunction can be written as an existential formula,

.

Therefore, assuming the numerical existence property, if is a theorem of, so is, by the numerical existence property there exists some such that is a theorem. Since is a numerial, we can check the value of, if then is a theorem and if then is a theorem, and the disjunction property is satisfied.

Famous quotes containing the words existence, property and/or implies:

    Reasoning from the common course of nature, and without supposing any new interposition of the Supreme Cause, which ought always to be excluded from philosophy; what is incorruptible must also be ingenerable. The soul, therefore, if immortal, existed before our birth: And if the former existence noways concerned us, neither will the latter.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.
    Guy Debord (b. 1931)
