## Overview
**Equivalence-transformation** is a proof system used alongside classical truth-functional [[pred-logic|predicate logic]]. It is the foundation upon which [[pred-trans|predicate transformers]] are based.

A [[prop-logic|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**.

### Law of Or-Simplification
For any propositions $E1$ and $E2$, it follows that:
* $E1 \lor E1 = E1$
* $E1 \lor T = T$
* $E1 \lor F = E1$
* $E1 \lor (E1 \land E2) = E1$

## Inference Rules
* Rule of Substitution
* Let $P(r)$ be a predicate and $E1 = E2$ be an equivalence. Then $P(E1) = P(E2)$ is an equivalence.

## Selectors
A **selector** denotes a finite sequence of subscript expressions, each enclosed in brackets. $\epsilon$ denotes the empty selector. For example, variable $x$ is equivalently denoted as $x \circ \epsilon$ whereas for array $b$, $b[i]$ is equivalently denoted as $b \circ [i]$.
**Selector update** syntax allows specifying a new value with previous subscripted values overridden. For instance, $(b; i{:}e)$ denotes $b$ with $b[i]$ now referring to $e$. More formally, for any $j \in \mathop{domain}(b)$, $$(b; i{:}e)[j] = \begin{cases} i = j \rightarrow e \\ i \neq j \rightarrow b[j] \end{cases}$$

### General
We can generalize textual substitution to operate on a vector of reference-expression pairs, where each reference corresponds to some identifier concatenated with a selector. Let $\bar{x} = \langle x_1, \ldots, x_n \rangle$ denote a vector of identifiers concatenated with selectors and $\bar{e} = \langle e_1, \ldots, e_n \rangle$ denote a vector of expressions. Then textual substitition of $\bar{x}$ with $\bar{e}$ in expression $E$ is denoted as $$\large{E_{\bar{e}}^{\bar{x}}}$$
Substitution is defined recursively as follows:
1. If each $x_i$ is a distinct identifier with a null selector, then $E_{\bar{e}}^{\bar{x}}$ is the simultaneous substitution of $\bar{x}$ with $\bar{e}$.
2. Adjacent reference-expression pairs may be permuted as long as they begin with different identifiers. That is, for all distinct $b$ and $c$, $$\Large{E_{\bar{e}, \,f, \,h, \,\bar{g}}^{\bar{x}, \,b, \,c, \,\bar{y}} = E_{\bar{x}, \,h, \,f, \,\bar{g}}^{\bar{x}, \,c, \,b, \,\bar{y}}}$$
3. Multiple assignments to subparts of an object $b$ can be viewed as a single assignment to $b$. That is, provided $b$ does not begin any of the $x_i$, $$\Large{E_{e_1, \,\ldots, \,e_m, \,\bar{g}}^{b \,\circ\, s_1, \,\ldots, \,b \,\circ\, s_m, \,\bar{x}} = E_{(b; \,s_1{:}e_1; \,\cdots; \,s_m{:}e_m), \,\bar{g}}^{b, \,\bar{x}}}$$
Note that simultaneous substitution is different from sequential substitution.
