that these premises together with A

proof B indeed follows from the addition of A b- premises

separate sub computation box
Sub computation

→ A sub computation box that the consequent of the implication


valid conclusion under the

assumption that the antedecent
is true This justifies the derivation of the
.

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
antedecent is false

→ Therefore , if the box to show the conclusion the implication


manages ,

will be true whether or not the extra assumption is true and


therefore true under the original assumptions

In order to

correctly perform a sub computation follow these

↳ The
assumption used in beginning of sub computation
box can

Any conclusions previously available including ,

premises and formulas derived can also be used inside

↳ Any
box
conclusion obtained inside box that depends on the box 's
assumption cannot be used on its own .

from previous example C cannot be used ,
on its own as its
