Modus Ponendo Ponens/Proof Rule

Proof Rule
The Modus Ponendo Ponens is a valid deduction sequent in propositional logic.

As a proof rule it is expressed in the form:
 * If we can conclude $\phi \implies \psi$, and we can also conclude $\phi$, then we may infer $\psi$.

Thus it provides a means of eliminating a conditional from a sequent.

It can be written:
 * $\displaystyle {\phi \qquad \phi \implies \psi \over \psi} \to_e$
