Generation

Natural deduction is a proof system where you derive conclusions from premises using intuitive inference rules that mirror how we naturally reason. Each logical connective (like "and," "or," "implies") has introduction rules that let you conclude statements containing that connective, and elimination rules that let you use such statements to derive other things. For example, if you have statements A and B separately, you can introduce "A and B"; conversely, if you have "A and B," you can eliminate the "and" to get either A or B alone. The beauty of natural deduction is that proofs build up step-by-step in a way that feels more direct and transparent than other formal systems.
