Theorem 4syl

Description: Inference chaining three syllogisms syl . (Contributed by BJ, 14-Jul-2018) The use of this theorem is marked "discouraged" because it can cause the Metamath program "MM-PA> MINIMIZE__WITH *" command to have very long run times. However, feel free to use "MM-PA> MINIMIZE__WITH 4syl / OVERRIDE" if you wish. Remember to update the "discouraged" file if it gets used. (New usage is discouraged.)
