## Overview
**Equivalence-transformation** refers to a class of calculi for manipulating propositions derived from negation ($\neg$), conjunction ($\land$), disjunction ($\lor$), implication ($\Rightarrow$), and equality ($=$). Gries covers two in "The Science of Programming": a system of evaluation and a formal system. The system of evaluation mirrors how a computer processes instructions, at least in an abstract sense. The formal system serves as a theoretical framework for reasoning about propositions and their transformations without resorting to "lower-level" operations like substitution.

## Equivalence Schemas
A proposition is said to be a **tautology** if it evaluates to $T$ in every state it is well-defined in. We say propositions $E1$ and $E2$ are **equivalent** if $E1 = E2$ is a tautology. In this case, we say $E1 = E2$ is an **equivalence** .

## Textual Substitution
2024-02-07 13:18:19 +00:00
2024-02-14 19:09:07 +00:00
**Textual substitution** refers to the simultaneous replacement of a free identifier with an expression, introducing parentheses as necessary. This concept is just the [[#Equivalence Rules|Substitution Rule]] with different notation. Let $\bar{x}$ denote a list of distinct identifiers. If $\bar{e}$ is a list of expressions of the same length as $\bar{x}$, then simultaneous substitution of $\bar{x}$ by $\bar{e}$ in expression $E$ is denoted as $$E_{\bar{e}}^{\bar{x}}$$
Note that simultaneous substitution is different than sequential substitution.
