AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a complex equation involving existential quantifiers and logical operations. The user is uncertain about the solvability of the expression (x ¬ | ∃x) and its implications regarding the existence of x independent of its reference. The equation presented is (x ¬ | ∃x) = ∅ ⊕ {∅}) ⊕ ∅. The user expresses confusion about whether there are scenarios where x can exist independently. The thread is currently closed for mentor review.

Need help solving algorithm for truth
I have an equation that I need some serious help with. I’m using a “not such that”, and I don’t know if the critical component (x ¬ | ∃x) is solvable!

Well here it is:

(x ¬ | ∃x) = ∅ ⊕ {∅}) ⊕ ∅

So if x exists independently from the reference of x, the first bit is true, but is there ever a time when that is the case?

So confused-

I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
