About: Nicod's axiom

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In logic, Nicod's axiom (named after the French logician and philosopher Jean Nicod) is a formula that can be used as the sole axiom of a semantically complete system of propositional calculus. The only connective used in the formulation of Nicod's axiom is the Sheffer's stroke. The axiom has the following form: ((φ | (χ | ψ)) | ((τ | (τ | τ)) | ((θ | χ) | ((φ | θ) | (φ | θ))))) Nicod showed that the whole propositional logic of Principia Mathematica could be derived from this axiom alone by using one inference rule, called "Nicod's modus ponens": 1. φ 2. (φ | (χ | ψ)) ∴ ψ

(φ | (χ | ψ)) ∴ ψ In 1931, the Polish logician discovered an equally powerful and easier-to-work-with alternative: ((φ | (ψ | χ)) | (((τ | χ) | ((φ | τ) | (φ | τ))) | (φ | (φ | ψ)))) (en)
