=== Suppes–Lemmon notation === Many textbooks use [[Suppes–Lemmon notation]],{{sfn|Pelletier|Hazen|2024}} so this article will also give that – although as of now, this is only included for [[Propositional calculus|propositional logic]], and the rest of the coverage is given only in Gentzen style. A '''proof''', laid out in accordance with the [[Suppes–Lemmon notation]] style, is a sequence of lines containing sentences,{{sfn|Allen|Hand|2022}} where each sentence is either an assumption, or the result of applying a rule of proof to earlier sentences in the sequence.{{sfn|Allen|Hand|2022}} Each '''line of proof''' is made up of a '''sentence of proof''', together with its '''annotation''', its '''assumption set''', and the current '''line number'''.{{sfn|Allen|Hand|2022}} The assumption set lists the assumptions on which the given sentence of proof depends, which are referenced by the line numbers.{{sfn|Allen|Hand|2022}} The annotation specifies which rule of proof was applied, and to which earlier lines, to yield the current sentence.{{sfn|Allen|Hand|2022}} Here's an example proof: {| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto;" |+Suppes–Lemmon style proof (first example) !Assumption set !Line number !Sentence of proof !Annotation |- |{{EquationRef|1}} |{{EquationRef|1}} |<math>P \to Q</math> |A |- |{{EquationRef|2}} |{{EquationRef|2}} |<math>-Q</math> |A |- |{{EquationRef|3}} |{{EquationRef|3}} |<math>P</math> |A |- |{{EquationRef|1}}, {{EquationRef|3}} |{{EquationRef|4}} |<math>Q</math> |{{EquationRef|1}}, {{EquationRef|3}} →E |- |{{EquationRef|1}}, {{EquationRef|2}} |{{EquationRef|5}} |<math>-P</math> |{{EquationRef|2}}, {{EquationRef|4}} RAA |} This proof will become clearer when the inference rules and their appropriate annotations are specified – see {{section link||Propositional inference rules (Suppes–Lemmon style)}}.
