Where do the conditional and disjunction introductions come from? What rules are those?

Emma K.

The rules I am to use are Modus Ponens, Modus Tolens, Hypothetical Syllagism, Disjunctive Syllagism, Simplification, Conjunction, Add, Constructive Dilemma, Double Negation, DMorgans, Commutative, Associative, Distribution, Transposition, Implication, Exportation, Tautology, and Equivalence.

Disjunction Introduction is another name for Addition. Sometimes Conditional Introduction is also called Conditional Proof. Is that a rule you can use?

We cannot use conditional proof.

Also, where does conjunction and disjunction elimination come from?

Really? I don't think this proof could be solved without using conditional proof or maybe reductio ad absurdum

Oh sorry, that was a mistake. It should be disjunction introduction instead of elimination. Conjunction elimination is the same as Simplification

Could you solve the proof again using the rules that I listed, so that it is easier for me to read and understand?
