~(~p)?
biznology
well perhaps someone does know what im talking about...and you have the right idea. but im ing stuck on how to derive (B v H) from ~(A v ~A)...


the contradiction is obviously in the As, but i cant get them outta that damn ~()...ugh|
Noisician
~(a ∨ ~a) ≡ ~(t) ≡ c

or you can go by de morgan's and get

~(a ∨ ~a) ≡ ~a ∧ a ≡ c

is that what you need? elaborate plz.

try negated disjunction decomposition
~(A v ~A)
---------
~A
~~A
A&~A -contradiction
