  1. (logic) A procedure for "discharging" assumptions from an inference, causing them to become antecedents of the conclusion; or vice versa. Symbolically, the conversion of an inference of the form P,A⊢C to an inference of the form P⊢A→C or vice versa, where ⊢ is the turnstile symbol. The validity of the procedure is a metatheorem of the given logical theory. Wikipedia link: deduction theorem Categories (topical): Logic Related terms: conditional proof
