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

Why is natural deduction named the way it is?

## Axioms
|
||
|
||
Natural deduction is interesting in that it has no axioms.

## Inference Rules
|
||
|
||
Scoped to just propositional logic, there are 10 inference rules corresponding to an "introduction" and "elimination" of each propositional logic operator. When extending to predicate logic, we also include an introduction and elimination rule for both the [[pred-logic#Existentials|existential]] and [[pred-logic#Universals|universal]] quantifers.
