\section{\defined{Construction Sequence}}%
\hyperlabel{ref:construction-sequence}
A \textbf{construction sequence} is a \nameref{ref:finite-sequence}
$\ltuple{\epsilon_1}{\epsilon_n}$ of \nameref{ref:expression}s such that for
each $i \leq n$ we have at least one of
\begin{align*}
& \epsilon_i \text{ is a sentence symbol} \\
& \epsilon_i = \mathcal{E}_\neg(\epsilon_j) \text{ for some } j < i \\
& \epsilon_i = \mathcal{E}_\square(\epsilon_j, \epsilon_k)
\text{ for some } j < i, k < i
\end{align*}
where $\square$ is one of the binary connectives $\land$, $\lor$,
$\Rightarrow$, $\Leftrightarrow$.
\section{\defined{Expression}}%
\hyperlabel{ref:expression}
An \textbf{expression} is a \nameref{ref:finite-sequence} of symbols.
\section{\defined{Finite Sequence}}%
\hyperlabel{ref:finite-sequence}
$S$ is a \textbf{finite sequence} (or \textbf{string}) of members of set $A$
if and only if, for some positive integer $n$, we have
$S = \ltuple{x_1}{x_n}$, where each $x_i \in A$.
\section{\defined{\texorpdfstring{$n$}{n}-tuple}}%
\hyperlabel{ref:n-tuple}
An \textbf{$n$-tuple} is recursively defined as
$$\ltuple{x_1}{x_{n+1}} = \tuple{\ltuple{x_1}{x_n}, x_{n+1}}$$
for $n > 1$.
We also define $\tuple{x} = x$.
\section{\defined{Well-Formed Formula}}%
\hyperlabel{ref:well-formed-formula}
A \textbf{well-formed formula} (wff) is an \nameref{ref:expression} that can
be built up from the sentence symbols by applying some finite number of
times the \textbf{formula-building operations} (on expressions) defined by
the equations:
\begin{align*}
\mathcal{E}_{\neg}(\alpha)
& = (\neg \alpha) \\
\mathcal{E}_{\land}(\alpha, \beta)
& = (\alpha \land \beta) \\
\mathcal{E}_{\lor}(\alpha, \beta)
& = (\alpha \lor \beta) \\
\mathcal{E}_{\Rightarrow}(\alpha, \beta)
& = (\alpha \Rightarrow \beta) \\
\mathcal{E}_{\Leftrightarrow}(\alpha, \beta)
& = (\alpha \Leftrightarrow \beta)
\end{align*}

\chapter{Useful Facts About Sets}%

\section{\unverified{Lemma 0A}}%
\hyperlabel{sec:lemma-0a}
\begin{lemma}[0A]
Assume that $\ltuple{x_1}{x_m} = \ltuple{y_1, \ldots, y_m}{y_{m+k}}$.
Then $x_1 = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{k+1}}$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
For natural number $m$, let $P(m)$ be the statement:
\begin{induction}
\hyperlabel{sec:lemma-0a-ih}
If $\ltuple{x_1}{x_m} = \ltuple{y_1, \ldots, y_m}{y_{m+k}}$
then $x_1 = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{k+1}}$.
\end{induction}
\noindent
We proceed by induction on $m$.
\paragraph{Base Case}%
Suppose $\tuple{x_1} = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{1 + k}}$.
By definition of an \nameref{ref:n-tuple}, $\tuple{x_1} = x_1$.
Thus $x_1 = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{k + 1}}$.
Hence $P(1)$ holds true.
\paragraph{Inductive Step}%
Suppose for $m \geq 1$ that $P(m)$ is true and assume
\begin{equation}
\hyperlabel{sec:lemma-0a-eq1}
\ltuple{x_1}{x_{m+1}} = \ltuple{y_1, \ldots, y_{m+1}}{y_{m+1+k}}.
\end{equation}
By definition of an \nameref{ref:n-tuple}, we can decompose
\eqref{sec:lemma-0a-eq1} into the following two identities
\begin{align*}
x_{m+1} & = y_{m+1+k} \\
\ltuple{x_1}{x_m} & = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{m+k}}.
\end{align*}
By \ihref{sec:lemma-0a-ih}, $P(m)$ implies $x_1 = \ltuple{y_1}{y_{k+1}}$.
Hence $P(m+1)$ holds true.
\paragraph{Conclusion}%
By induction, $P(m)$ holds true for all $m \geq 1$.
\end{proof}

\section{The Language of Sentential Logic}%
\hyperlabel{sec:language-sentential-logic}
\subsection{\unverified{Induction Principle}}%
\hyperlabel{sub:induction-principle-1}
\begin{theorem}
If $S$ is a set of wffs containing all the sentence symbols and closed under
all five formula-building operations, then $S$ is the set of \textit{all}
wffs.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
We note every \nameref{ref:well-formed-formula} can be characterized by a
\nameref{ref:construction-sequence}.
For natural number $m$, let $P(m)$ be the statement:
\begin{induction}
\hyperlabel{sub:induction-principle-1-ih}
Every wff characterized by a construction sequence of length $m$ is in
$S$.
\end{induction}
\noindent
We proceed by strong induction on $m$.
\paragraph{Base Case}%
Let $\phi$ denote a wff characterized by a construction sequence of length
$1$.
Then it must be that $\phi$ is a single sentence symbol.
By hypothesis, $S$ contains all the sentence symbols.
Thus $P(1)$ holds true.
\paragraph{Inductive Step}%
Suppose $P(0)$, $P(1)$, $\ldots$, $P(m)$ holds true and let $\phi$ denote
a wff characterized by a construction sequence of length $m + 1$.
By definition of a construction sequence, one of the following holds:
\begin{align}
& \phi \text{ is a sentence symbol}
& \label{sub:induction-principle-1-eq1} \\
& \phi = \mathcal{E}_\neg(\epsilon_j)
\text{ for some } j < m + 1
& \label{sub:induction-principle-1-eq2} \\
& \phi = \mathcal{E}_\square(\epsilon_j, \epsilon_k)
\text{ for some } j < m + 1, k < m + 1
& \label{sub:induction-principle-1-eq3}
\end{align}
where $\square$ is one of the binary connectives $\land$, $\lor$,
$\Rightarrow$, $\Leftrightarrow$.
We consider each case in turn.
\subparagraph{\eqref{sub:induction-principle-1-eq1}}%
By hypothesis, all sentence symbols are in $S$.
Thus $\phi \in S$.
\subparagraph{\eqref{sub:induction-principle-1-eq2}}%
Suppose $\phi = \mathcal{E}_\neg(\epsilon_j)$ for some $j < m + 1$.
By \ihref{sub:induction-principle-1-ih}, $\epsilon_j$ is in $S$.
By hypothesis, $S$ is closed under $\mathcal{E}_\neg$.
Thus $\phi \in S$.
\subparagraph{\eqref{sub:induction-principle-1-eq3}}%
Suppose $\phi = \mathcal{E}_\square(\epsilon_j, \epsilon_k)$ for some
$j < m + 1, k < m + 1$,
By \ihref{sub:induction-principle-1-ih}, $\epsilon_j$ and $\epsilon_k$
is in $S$.
By hypothesis, $S$ is closed under $\mathcal{E}_\square$ for all
possible candidates of $\square$.
Thus $\phi \in S$.
\subparagraph{Subconclusion}%
Since the above three cases are exhaustive, $P(m + 1)$ holds.
\paragraph{Conclusion}%
By strong induction, $P(m)$ holds true for all natural numbers $m \geq 1$.
Since every well-formed formula is characterized by a construction
sequence, the set of all wffs is a subset of $S$.
Likewise, it obviously holds that $S$ is a subset of all wffs.
Thus $S$ is precisely the set of all wffs.
\end{proof}

Give three sentences in English together with translations into our formal
language.
The sentences shoudl be chosen so as to have an interesting structure, and the
translations should each contain 15 or more symbols.

length is possible.

TODO

\subsection{\sorry{Exercise 1.1.3}}%
\hyperlabel{sub:exercise-1.1.3}
Let $\alpha$ be a wff; let $c$ be the number of places at which binary
connective symbols $(\land, \lor, \Rightarrow, \Leftrightarrow)$ occur in
$\alpha$; let $s$ be the number of places at which sentence symbols occur in
$\alpha$.
(For example, if $\alpha$ is $(A \Rightarrow (\neg A))$ then $c = 1$ and
$s = 2$.)
Show by using the induction principle that $s = c + 1$.

TODO
\end{proof}
