Talk:Exportation (logic)

What??

P implies Q implies R.

Does this mean

(P implies Q) implies R

or

P implies (Q implies R)

??

Which is it?? Michael Hardy (talk) 04:35, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The latter, according to the quoted source. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 14:53, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Proof

I removed the proof (reproduced below) because it seems to prove the same thing as it assumes at the start.

Proposition	Derivation
$(P\rightarrow Q)\rightarrow R$	Given
$\neg (P\rightarrow Q)\lor R$	Material implication
$\neg (\neg P\lor Q)\lor R$	Material implication
$(P\land \neg Q)\lor R$	de Morgan's law
$\neg (P\land \neg Q)\rightarrow R$	Material implication
$(\neg P\lor Q)\rightarrow R$	de Morgan's law
$(P\rightarrow Q)\rightarrow R$	Material implication

Proposal to merge Import–export (logic) into Exportation (logic)

Import–export (logic) and Exportation (logic) both discuss importation and exportation, and belong to Category:Theorems in propositional logic as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy.

Import–export (logic) focuses on discussion of the topic, including how the rule does not necessarily hold in a non-classical logic. Exportation (logic) is focused on the rule's technical definition and proof.

Closing, given that there is no case made for the proposal, and there has been no support over many months. That the articles are related isn't in doubt, but the reason for merging them hasn't been explicitly made. Klbrain (talk) 08:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
