Definition:Constructed Semantics/Instance 2/Rule of Commutation

Theorem
The Rule of Commutation:


 * $\left({p \lor q}\right) \implies \left({q \lor p}\right)$

is a tautology in Instance 2 of constructed semantics.

Proof
By the definitional abbreviation for the conditional:


 * $\mathbf A \implies \mathbf B =_{\text{def}} \neg \mathbf A \lor \mathbf B$

the Rule of Commutation can be written as:


 * $\neg \left({p \lor q}\right) \lor \left({q \lor p}\right)$

This evaluates as follows:


 * $\begin{array}{|cccc|c|ccc|} \hline

\neg & (p & \lor & q) & \lor & (q & \lor & p) \\ \hline 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 2 & 0 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 2 & 2 & 0 & 2 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 2 \\ 2 & 2 & 2 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 0 & 2 & 0 & 2 & 0 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}$
