This rule can be used forwards to derive A ^ B | ~A ^ ~B from A # B or backwards to derive A # B as a new goal from A ^ B | ~A ^ ~B.
To use this rule forwards:
- select an empty line and click on If and only if Elimination (derived).
- then select the IF AND ONLY IF formula line to eliminate (this line must be in the scope of the empty line).
- the A ^ B | ~A ^ ~B equivalent of the line you selected will then be added as a new line to the proof.
To use this rule backwards:
- select the goal A ^ B | ~A ^ ~B line you wish to eliminate and click on If and only if Elimination (derived).
- the IF AND ONLY IF equivalent of the goal line will then be added as a new goal to your proof.
