Theorem nic-mp

Description: Derive Nicod's rule of modus ponens using 'nand', from the standard one. Although the major and minor premise together also imply ch , this form is necessary for useful derivations from nic-ax . In a pure (standalone) treatment of Nicod's axiom, this theorem would be changed to an axiom ($a statement). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 nic-jmin ⊢ φ
2 nic-jmaj ⊢ φ ⊼ χ ⊼ ψ
3 nannan ⊢ φ ⊼ χ ⊼ ψ ↔ φ → χ ∧ ψ
4 2 3 mpbi ⊢ φ → χ ∧ ψ
5 4 simprd ⊢ φ → ψ
6 1 5 ax-mp ⊢ ψ
