Proof by Cases

Given $p \lor q$, $p \vdash r$ and $q \vdash r$, we have also $r$.

Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
$i$ $i$ $p$ Rule of Assumption ?
$i+1 .. i'-1$ ? ? ? ? Let these lines prove $r$ from assuming $p$
$i'$ $I$ $r$ ? only from $i .. i'-1$
$j$ $j$ $q$ Rule of Assumption ?
$j+1 .. j'-1$ ? ? ? ? Let these lines prove $r$ from assuming $q$
$j'$ $J$ $r$ ? only from $j .. j'-1$
$k$ $K$ $p \lor q$ ? ?
$l$ $I,J,K,$ but NOT $i,j$ $r$ Proof by Cases: $\text{PBC}$ $i .. i', j .. j', k$
