Exercise

[In the widget below:- Click once to select, click again to un-select. Select one item to extend the Tree, select two to close a branch. Select one or two for extending by Analytic Consequence (depending what inference you are trying for). Select two for extending with identity.]

1. ∃x(Cube(x)∧∀y(Cube(y) → y=x))  ∴  ∃x∀y(Cube(y) ↔ y=x) (p.377)

2. SameRow(a,a), a=b, b=c ∴ SameRow(a,c)
