Extract

The object of this note is to extend to Post's m-valued propositional calculus1 the axiomatization by Anderson and Belnap2 of the 2-valued propositional calculus.

Notation and definitions. We shall use the symbols ∼ and v for the primitives of Post and shall otherwise, except as stated below, use the same notation and definitions as in the previous paper.

3 (Dated July 19, 1961.) The remarks of Anderson and Belnap (op. cit., p. 302) concerning derived rules are, in general, applicable to the present paper. However, they do not apply to every case in which the conclusion of a rule is shorter than one of the premises since φ(∼Av ∼B) is a premise of rule 2 and φ(∼(A v B)) is the conclusion.
