Overview

Natural deduction is a proof system typically used alongside classical truth-functional prop-logic and pred-logic logic. It is meant to mimic the patterns of reasoning that one might "naturally" make when forming arguments in plain English.

%%ANKI Basic Why is natural deduction named the way it is? Back: It is mean to mimic the patterns of reasoning one might "naturally" make when forming arguments in plain English.

Axioms

Natural deduction is interesting in that it has no axioms.

%%ANKI Basic How many axioms does natural deduction include? Back: 0 Reference: Gries, David. The Science of Programming. Texts and Monographs in Computer Science. New York: Springer-Verlag, 1981.

Inference Rules

Scoped to propositional logic, there are 10 inference rules corresponding to an "introduction" and "elimination" of each propositional logic operator.
