Introduction of implication (→ I)
→ The
proof B indeed follows from the addition of A b- premises
is done in a
separate sub computation box
Sub computation
implication
because
↳ if the assumption is true , the box provides valid proof
a

of the consequent therefore the ,
implication holds
if the false the implication will hold
assumption is ,
anyway
because an implication is true when its
