Deductive Logic, also known as Deductive Reasoning is a formal method of achieving an inference using Bivalent Linear Logic by the assumption a certain conclusion necessarily follows from a set of premises or hypothesis. |
|
|
|
Canon 2622 |
|
|
According to Bivalent Linear Logic, a deductive argument is considered valid if the conclusion follows necessarily from the premises themselves considered valid and true. |
|
|
|
Canon 2623 |
|
|
In Bivalent Linear Logic, deductive arguments are valid, or invalid, verified or unverified, never true or false. |
|

Canon 2624 |
|
|
The simplest form of Deductive Logic is called the Law of Detachment. A single conditional statement is made, and then a hypothesis (P) is stated. The conclusion (Q) is deduced from the hypothesis and the statement. The most basic form being: |
|
|
(i) As P tends towards Q (P→Q) |
|
|
(ii) P (Hypothesis stated) |
|
|
(iii) Q (Conclusion given) |
|
|
|
Canon 2625 |
|
|
The second simplest form of Deductive Logic is called the Law of Syllogism. Two conditional statements are made concerning A, B and C. The conclusion is deduced by combining the hypothesis of one statement with the conclusion of another. The most basic form being: |
|
|
(i) If A = B |
|
|
(ii) And B = C |
|
|
(iii) Then A = C |
