Supplement to Relevance Logic

The Logic E

Here is a Hilbert-style axiomatisation of the logic E of relevant entailment.

Our language contains propositional variables, parentheses, negation, conjunction, and implication. In addition, we use the following defined connectives:

AB=df¬(¬A&¬B)AB=df(AB)&(BA)
Axiom Scheme Axiom Name
1. AA Identity
2. ((AA)B)B EntT
3. (AB)((BC)(AC)) Suffixing
4. (A(AB))(AB) Contraction
5. (A&B)A,(A&B)B & -Elimination
6. A(AB),B(AB) -Introduction
7. ((AB)&(AC))(A(B&C)) & -Introduction
8. ((AB)C)((AC)&(BC)) -Elimination
9. (A&(BC))((A&B)(A&C)) Distribution
10. (A¬B)(B¬A) Contraposition
11. ¬¬AA Double Negation
Rule Name
1. AB,AB Modus Ponens
2. A,BA&B Adjunction
