What is meant by "without loss of generality" in a mathematical proof?

"In giving a mathematical proof, if we say that 'without loss of generality' we may assume that some condition X holds, this means that if we can establish the result in the case where X holds, we can deduce from this that it holds in general. After saying this, one usually assumes that X holds for the rest of the proof. [...]

"Of course, whether it is 'clear' that knowing a result in one case implies that it is true in other cases depends on the situation, and on the mathematical background of one's readership."
--George Bergman
https://math.berkeley.edu/~gbergman/ug.hndts/sets_etc,t=1.pdf

Here I formally prove the following theorem from Wikipedia:

"If three objects are each painted either red or blue, then there must be at least two objects of the same color."

Wikipeda provides the following INFORMAL proof:

"A proof: Assume, without loss of generality, that the first object is red. If either of the other two objects is red, then we are finished; if not, then the other two objects must both be blue and we are still finished."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_loss_of_generality#Example

Formally, I prove (link below):

EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a e s & b e s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

Where

s = a set of 3 distinct elements: {x, y, z}

colors = a set of 2 distinct elements: {red, blue}

color(n) = the color of object n

I have been unable to formally justify the without-loss-of-generality claim. Instead, I first prove the case of the first object being red (lines 33-64), then, the case of it being blue (lines 65-96). The two sub-proofs are only superficially alike (both are 31 lines).

It seems unlikely that the without-loss-of-generality claim can be justified using the ordinary rules of logic found in most math textbooks as has been used here:

I would have thought the two sub-proofs should be /obviously/ alike - there's a symmetry in the
problem between red <--> blue.

WLOG is a kind of meta-proving strategy that cuts down the size of a proof so that it is clearer, or
more easily followed by the reader. E.g. it might exploit some symmetry in the problem to save the
reader from ploughing through many scenarios with essentially similar logic. Or it might identify a
superficially simpler scenario to deal with, with it being clear to the reader that proof of the
simpler scenario would readily enable proof of the full claim of the theorem.

It's expected that the reader will understand how the shortened proof would be expanded to a full
(more formal) proof, so the WLOG usage /could/ be completely avoided if required. That's why I
described it as a "meta-proving" strategy.

The logical justification behind the usage is that it is indeed seen by the reader that the longer
proof (without using WLOG) works. However, encapsulating precisely /why/ it works in one single
justification seems implausible. Within a formal proof system, the proof could just follow the
expanded proof without mentioning WLOG. (Hopefully you weren't suggesting there was anything
"fishy" about proofs phrased using WLOG.)

Regards,
Mike.

Not at all. A question came up in another forum about WLOG in formal proofs. Though I thought at first that it might be possible, it now looks to me like a non-starter. I agree with everything you say here, Mike.

STUDENTS BEWARE: Don't be a victim of AP's fake math and science

STUDENTS BEWARE: Don't be a victim of AP's fake math and science

[snip]

Time for another spanking, Archie Poo? When will you learn? Once again...

From his antics here at sci.math, it is obvious that AP has abandoned all hope being recognized as a credible personality. He is a malicious internet troll who now wants only to mislead and confuse students. He may not be all there, but his fake math and science can only be meant to promote failure in schools. One can only guess at his motives. Is it revenge for his endless string of personal failures in life? Who knows.

In AP's OWN WORDS here that, over the years, he has NEVER renounced or withdrawn:

“Primes do not exist, because the set they were borne from has no division.”
--June 29, 2020

“The last and largest finite number is 10^604.”
--June 3, 2015

“0 appears to be the last and largest finite number”
--June 9, 2015

“0/0 must be equal to 1.”
-- June 9, 2015

“0 is an infinite irrational number.”
--June 28, 2015

“No negative numbers exist.”
--December 22, 2018

“Rationals are not numbers.”
--May 18, 2019

According to AP's “chess board math,” an equilateral triangle is a right-triangle.
--December 11, 2019

Which could explain...

“The value of sin(45 degrees) = 1.” (Actually 0.707)
--May 31, 2019

AP deliberately and repeatedly presented the truth table for OR as the truth table for AND:

“New Logic
AND
T & T = T
T & F = T
F & T = T
F & F = F”
--November 9, 2019

AP seeks aid of Russian agents to promote failure in schools:

"Please--Asking for help from Russia-- russian robots-- to create a new, true mathematics [sic]. What I like for the robots to do, is list every day, about 4 Colleges ( of the West) math dept, and ask why that math department is teaching false and fake math, and if unable to change to the correct true math, well, simply fire that math department until they can find professors who recognize truth in math from fakery...."
--November 9, 2017


And if that wasn't weird enough...

“The totality, everything that there is [the universe], is only 1 atom of plutonium [Pu]. There is nothing outside or beyond this one atom of plutonium.”
--April 4, 1994

“The Universe itself is one gigantic big atom.”
--November 14, 2019

AP's sinister Atom God Cult of Failure???

“Since God-Pu is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Atom Plutonium!
Its truth is marching on.
It has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
It is sifting out the hearts of people before its judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer it; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God-Pu is marching on.”
--December 15, 2018 (Note: Pu is the atomic symbol for plutonium)

Kibo Parry M. why is Dan Christensen a blithering idiot of logic with his 2 OR 1 = 3 with AND as subtraction???

Clearly he is insane in logic, but does he need a straightjacket??




Ruth Charney, Ken Ribet, Andrew Wiles, Terence Tao, Thomas Hales, John Stillwell, Jill Pipher, Ruth Charney, Ken Ribet, Andrew Beal, John Baez, Roger Penrose, Gerald Edgar, AMS, no-one there can do a Geometry Proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, all they can offer is a limit analysis, so shoddy in logic they never realized that "analyzing" is not the same as "proving" for analyzing is much in the same as "measuring but not proving". And yet, none can do a geometry proof and the reason is quite clear for none can even see that the slant cut in single right-circular cone is a Oval, never the ellipse. So they could never do a geometry proof of FTC even if they wanted to. For they have no logical geometry brain to begin to do anything geometrical. Is it that Andrew Wiles and Terence Tao cannot understand the slant cut in single cone is an Oval, never the ellipse, or is it the foolish Boole logic they teach of 2 OR 1 = 3 with AND as subtraction? Not having a Logical brain to do math, for any rational person would be upset by Wiles, Tao saying truth table of AND is TFFF when it actually is TTTF. Is that why neither Terence Tao or Andrew Wiles can do a geometry proof Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

Maybe they need to take up Earle Jones offer to wash dishes or pots at Stanford Univ or where ever, for they sure cannot do mathematics.
Why are these people failures of Math?? For none can even contemplate these 4 questions.

1) think a slant cut in single cone is a ellipse when it is proven to be a Oval, never the ellipse. For the cone and oval have 1 axis of symmetry, while ellipse has 2.
2) think Boole logic is correct with AND truth table being TFFF when it really is TTTF in order to avoid 2 OR 1 =3 with AND as subtraction
3) can never do a geometry proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and are too ignorant in math to understand that analysis of something is not proving something in their "limit hornswaggle"
4) too stupid in science to ask the question of physics-- is the 1897 Thomson discovery of a 0.5MeV particle actually the Dirac magnetic monopole and that the muon is the true electron of atoms stuck inside a 840MeV proton torus doing the Faraday law. Showing that Peter Higgs, Sheldon Glashow, Ed Witten, John Baez, Roger Penrose, Arthur B. McDonald are sapheads when it comes to logical thinking in physics with their do nothing proton, do nothing electron.


Is Jim Holt, Virginia Klenk, David Agler, Susanne K. Langer, Gary M. Hardegree, Raymond M. Smullyan,
John Venn, William Gustason, Richmond H. Thomason, more of propagandists and belong in "Abnormal Psychology" dept than in the department of logic, like Dan Christensen a laugh a minute logician? Probably because none can admit slant cut in single cone is a Oval, never the ellipse, due to axes of symmetry for cone and oval have 1 while ellipse has 2. Why they cannot even count beyond 1. Yet their minds were never good enough to see the error nor admit to their mistakes. They failed logic so badly they accept Boole's insane AND truth table of TFFF when it is TTTF avoiding the painful 2 OR 1 = 3 with AND as subtraction. Or is it because none of these logicians has a single marble of logic in their entire brain to realize calculus requires a geometry proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, not a "limit analysis" for analysis is like a measurement, not a proving exercise. Analysis does not prove, only adds data and facts, but never is a proof of itself. I analyze things daily, and none of which is a proof. So are all these logicians like what Clutterfreak the propaganda stooge says they are.

This would be the first book in that 8 book set (one of the books is a companion book to 1st year college). But I suppose that I needed to write the full series before I could write the Introduction and know what I had to talk about and talk about in a logical progression order. Sounds paradoxical in a sense, that I needed to write the full series first and then go back and write the Introduction. But in another sense, hard to write an introduction on something you have not really fully done and completed. For example to know what is error filled Old Math and to list those errors in a logical order requires me to write the full 7 volumes in order to list in order the mistakes.

So here in this picture of the generalized Hydrogen atom of chemistry and physics is a torus geometry of 8 rings of a proton torus and one ring where my fingers are, is a equator ring that is the muon and thrusting through the proton torus at the equator of the torus. So we count 9 rings in all. So math is created by atoms and math numbers exist because atoms have many geometry figures to count. And geometry exists because atoms have shapes and different figures.

The 1st Year College Math has to prepare all students with the math for all the sciences. So 1st year college Math is like a huge intersection station that has to prepare students with the math they need to do the hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, etc. What this means is, 1st year college is calculus that allows the student to work with electricity and magnetism. All the math that is needed to enable students to do electricity and magnetism. In Old Math before this textbook, those Old Math textbooks would end in 1/3 of the text about Arclength, vector space, div, curl, Line Integral, Green's, Stokes, Divergence theorem trying to reach and be able to teach Maxwell Equations. But sadly, barely any Old Math classroom reached that 1/3 ending of the textbook, and left all those college students without any math to tackle electricity and magnetism. And most of Old Math was just muddle headed wrong even if they covered the last 1/3 of the textbook. And that is totally unacceptable in science. This textbook fixes that huge hole and gap in Old Math education.

The beginning of this textbook and the middle section all leads into the ending of this textbook-- we learn the AP-EM Equations and how to use those equations. And there is no escaping the fact that it has to be hands on physics experiments in the classroom of mathematics.

It is the continuation of volume 3 in the end-goal of learning how to do the mathematics of electricity and magnetism, because everything in physics is nothing but atoms and atoms are nothing but electricity and magnetism. To know math, you have to know physics. We learned the Calculus of 2nd dimension and applied it to the equations of physics for electricity and magnetism. But we did not learn the calculus of those equations for 3rd dimension. So, you can say that Sophomore year College math is devoted to 3D Calculus. This sophomore year college we fill in all the calculus, and we start over on all of Geometry, for geometry needs a modern day revision. And pardon me for this book is mostly reading, and the students doing less calculations. The classroom of this textbook has the teacher go through page by page to get the students comprehending and understanding of what is being taught. There are many hands on experiments also.

> > This is volume 5, book 6 of Teaching True Mathematics, designed for College Junior-year students, students of age 20-21. In first year college Calculus we learned calculus of the 2nd dimension and applied it to the equations of physics for electricity and magnetism. And in sophomore year we learned calculus of 3rd dimension to complete our study of the mathematics needed to do the physics of electricity and magnetism. Now, junior year college, we move onto something different, for we focus mostly on logic now and especially the logic of what is called the "mathematical proof". Much of what the student has learned about mathematics so far has been given to her or him as stated knowledge, accept it as true because I say so. But now we are going to do math proofs. Oh, yes, we did prove a few items here and there, such as why the Decimal Grid Number system is so special, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, such as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus with its right-triangle hinged up or down. But many ideas we did not prove, we just stated them and expected all students to believe them true. And you are now juniors in college and we are going to start to prove many of those ideas and teach you "what is a math proof". Personally, I myself feel that the math proof is overrated, over hyped. But the math proof is important for one reason-- it makes you better scientists of knowing what is true and what is a shaky idea. A math proof is the same as "thinking straight and thinking clearly". And all scientists need to think straight and think clearly. But before we get to the Mathematics Proof, we have to do Probability and Statistics. What you learned in Grade School, then High School, then College, called Sigma Error, now becomes Probability and Statistics. It is important because all sciences including mathematics needs and uses Probability and Statistics. So, our job for junior-year of college mathematics is all cut out and ahead for us, no time to waste, let us get going.

One of the best textbooks ever written in Old Math, not for its contents because there are many errors, but for its teaching style. It is extremely rare to find a math textbook written for the student to learn. Probably because math professors rarely learned how to teach in the first place; only learned how to unintentionally obfuscate. The page I photographed is important because it is the interface between geometry's perimeter or surface area versus geometry's area or volume, respectively. Or, an interface of pure numbers with that of geometry. But I have more to say on this below.

In past history we have called these incidents as "doubters of the mainstream". Yet math, like physics, can have no permanent mainstream, since there is always question of correctness in physics, there then corresponds questions of correctness in mathematics (because math is a subset of physics). What I mean is that each future generation corrects some mistakes of past mathematics. If anyone is unsure of what I am saying here, both math and physics need constant correcting, of that which never belonged in science. This then converges with the logic-philosophy of Pragmatism (see AP's book of logic on Pragmatism).

There's a very good justification of why "WLOG", at least of the kind in
this proof, works. It has to do with the rules of logic pertaining to
the naming of variables. In a nutshell, the name of a variable is
arbitrary, and can be changed at will, as long as it is done
consistently throughout the entire proof and is not the same as the name
of some other variable in the proof. (IIRC, that's a corollary of a
theorem in Proof Theory, about substitution.)

This proof uses no properties whatsoever of redness and blueness, so
"red" and "blue" are merely the arbitrary names of two variables and are
(ex)changeable at will. So the "red proof" and the "blue proof" are not
merely analogous, they are literally the same proof, and there's no
reason to say it twice. (It would be like saying that a proof in
English and the same proof in French are two different proofs.)

That all works very nicely for informal proofs presented to a knowledgeable audience. If, however, you are writing formal proofs, it may well not be worth the effort to formally prove the symmetry of the proof. (Don't know how you would do that.) It would probably be easier to simply go through each case, tediously changing the names of variables, etc.. :^(

Invoking a theorem of Proof Theory sounds to me like a formal proof!
Once you have (formally) proved in Proof Theory that the names of
variables can be changed, you don't have prove *that* as part of every
subsequent proof! In other words, it is completely unnecessary to prove
(formally or otherwise) the "symmetry" -- the one proof is the
*translation* of the other.

So I still insist that the two proofs are not symmetrical ... they are
*identical* -- they are literally the same proof! Just imagine that
there are two languages. In one the color of blood is called "red" and
the color of the sky is called "blue", and in the other the color of
blood is called "blue" and the color of the sky is called "red". Two
speakers are giving the proof in their respective languages. Each
speaker says "Assume, WLOG, that the first object is <insert respective
word for the color of blood here>." I say they are giving *exactly the
same proof*.

Or, borrowing two words from a famous philosophy discussion, suppose the
problem is "If three objects are each painted either bleen or grue, then
there must be at least two objects of the same color." A different
problem? Really???

The formal theorem behind this goes something like this (I haven't done
this since about 1966, so it's from memory, and I don't want to take the
time to look it up):

"If P(x,y,z,...) |- q(x,y,z,...) then P(x/t,y,z,...) |- q(x/t,y,z,...),
where t is none of y,z,..."

Here, P is a set of axioms and previously proved theorems, q is some new
theorem, "|-" means "syntactically yields" (i.e. you can formally prove
q from P), x,y,z,... are the variables in the statements of the axioms
and theorems, and "x/t" means "with every occurrence of x replaced with
t." Since q can be *any* theorem, that's why you're always justified in
simply replacing one name with another. All you have to do is *notice*
that one name has been replaced with another. The "proof" of the
replacement ia "see for yourself!"

Speaking of English proofs and French proofs: One of my jobs when I
worked for a math textbook company was translating a book of math
competition problems and their solutions from French to English. Even
though the book's blurb promised that all solutions (including proofs)
were extremely detailed, one particular problem only gave a very sketchy
"hand-wavy" proof. So I decide to completely re-write that proof ...
using a new method in the process. That expanded it from a paragraph to
several pages ... which still left a few things somewhat glossed over,
that's how much harder that problem was than the others in the book!

So in that case, the French proof and the English proof were completely
different! ;^)

[snip]

A careful, line-by-line comparison will show that there a small differences in the text, more than those resulting from simply interchanging "red" and "blue." Compare Sub-proof 1 (lines 32-63) and Sub-proof 2 (lines 64-95) . Compare the even the the 3rd lines of each:

34 color(x)=color(y)
Substitute, 33, 32
...
66. color(z)=red
Premise

My point is that it would probably take more effort to formally prove these sub-proofs are somehow logically equivalent than it would be to just consider each case in turn. I wouldn't know where to begin!

So, naZee Boy (is that what the "Z" stand for?), it seems you have not volunteered to be cannon fodder in Putin's genocidal war of conquest and terror in Ukraine. Perhaps the one smart thing you have done in your life. Now, you really must go into hiding. Like the original Nazis, you are on the wrong side of history.

Lets keep Wonky Man busy with a new contraption.
Yeah, this is not some "without loss" heuristic applied,
you proof two theorems, and then join them:

96 [color(x)=red
=> EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a e s & b e s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]]
& [color(x)=blue
=> EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a e s & b e s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]]
Join, 63, 95
https://www.dcproof.com/WithoutLossOfGenerality.htm

The proof SUB-PROOF 1 and the proof SUB-PROOF 2 are
the same proof twice. If you need to prove:

a v b -> c

And if thee is a Galois connection (F,G), such that
F(a)<->b and G(c)<->c, its enought to prove:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_connection

a -> c

LoL

Proof: a -> c, is the same as a -> c, since G(c) <-> c.
Therefore we have also a proof a -> G(c). Now by
definition of Galois connection, there is also a proof

F(a) -> c, but we have F(a) <-> b, so there is a proof
b -> c, and now we can use v introduction rule:

a -> c
b -> c
----------------- (v-Intro)
a v b -> c

You will need a simple formal proof to somehow establish the "symmetry" of Sub-Proof 1, and then another simple formal proof to apply that result to obtain the required result for the second case (i.e. for color(x)=blue). You would STILL need line 96 though. Somehow, I don't think you will find all this to be a "shortcut," Jan Burse. Quite the contrary.

Thats rather easy, the Galois connection is a permutation, of the colors.
The only non-identity permutation of two colors is swapping them.

So lets write the desired theorem with the colors as additional
parameters, namely:

C(red, blue,x,y,z) <=> ((x=red & y=red & z=red) v (x=blue & y=blue & z=blue)
=> ((x=red & y=red) v (x=blue & y=blue) v
(y=red & z=red) v (y=blue & z=blue) v
(x=red & z=red) v (x=blue & z=blue)))

Now you prove:

ALL(red):ALL(blue):(x=red => C(red,blue,x,y,z))
ALL(red):ALL(blue):(C(red,blue,x,y,z) => C(blue,red,x,y,z))

Then you can conclude:

ALL(red):ALL(blue):(x=blue => C(red,blue))

Here my claim verified by Wolfgang Schwartz tool:

(∀r∀b(x=r → Crbxyz) ∧ ∀r∀b(Crbxyz → Cbrxyz)) → ∀r∀b(x=b → Crbxyz) is valid.

Lets make the Galois Connection (F,G) transparent. If
we swap red and blue, then lets says that is the F functor.
The G functor is the same functor again, since swapping

is its own inverse permutation. Now first verify the
fixpoint, G(c) <-> c, we assume that we can show:

ALL(red):ALL(blue):(C(red,blue,x,y,z) => C(blue,red,x,y,z))

From it, it follows:

ALL(red):ALL(blue):(C(blue,red,x,y,z) => C(red,blue,x,y,z))

Verifiable with Wolfgang Schwartz tool:

∀r∀b(Crbxyz → Cbrxyz) → ∀r∀b(Cbrxyz → Crbxyz) is valid.
https://www.umsu.de/trees/#~6r~6b%28C%28r,b,x,y,z%29~5C%28b,r,x,y,z%29%29~5~6r~6b%28C%28b,r,x,y,z%29~5C%28r,b,x,y,z%29%29

So that we have indeed:

ALL(red):ALL(blue):(C(blue,red,x,y,z) <=> C(red,blue,x,y,z))

The rest is also as in the Galois Connection criterias,
namely F(a) <-> b. We did already F(a) -> b, using c -> G(c),
now that we also have G(c) -> c, we will be able to show b -> F(a).

Whats a little messy here the quantifiers are sometimes
outside of -> and sometimes inside the arguments of ->.
But don't worry, we can show:

∀r∀bC(r,b,x,y,z) → ∀r∀b(C(r,b,x,y,z) → C(b,r,x,y,z))
https://www.umsu.de/trees/#~6r~6bC%28r,b,x,y,z%29~5~6r~6b%28C%28r,b,x,y,z%29~5C%28b,r,x,y,z%29%29

So maybe should rework everything to arrive at a less
sloppy presentation

But I made an error, I didn't quantify x, so this is better:

∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(x=r → Crbxyz) →
(∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(Crbxyz → Cbrxyz) →
∀x∀y∀z∀b∀r(x=b → Cbrxyz)) is valid.

But this is only to illustrate why x=b case is redundant,
when we know something about permuation. We can now prove:

∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(x=r → Crbxyz) →
(∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(Crbxyz → Cbrxyz) →
∀x∀y∀z∀b∀r((x=r ∨ x=b) → Crbxyz)) is valid.

Corr.: Actually we can formulate the redundancy,
only based on alpha-conversion of bounded quantifers:

∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(x=r → Crbxyz) → ∀x∀y∀z∀b∀r(x=b → Cbrxyz) is valid.

Now its clear that we need something to connect
Crbxyz and Cbrxyz. But obviously this Crbxyz here:

C(red, blue,x,y,z) <=> ((x=red & y=red & z=red) v (x=blue & y=blue & z=blue)
=> ((x=red & y=red) v (x=blue & y=blue) v
(y=red & z=red) v (y=blue & z=blue) v
(x=red & z=red) v (x=blue & z=blue)))

Has this property:

∀x∀y∀z∀r∀b(Crbxyz → Cbrxyz)

A formal proof might be quite long. We humans on
the other hand somehow see this "obviously" in kind
of a holistic fashion through our visual pattern matching.

Our visual pattern matching seems to be quite
good what concerns commutativity and associativity.

Well it does, just use:

C(red, blue,x,y,z) <=> ((x=red & y=red & z=red) v (x=blue & y=blue & z=blue)
=> ((x=red & y=red) v (x=blue & y=blue) v
(y=red & z=red) v (y=blue & z=blue) v
(x=red & z=red) v (x=blue & z=blue)))

Do you want to spell it letter by letter for you?

Ok here exclusively for our Dumbo aka Wonky Man:

C(red, blue,x,y,z) <=> : Defintion of C predicate
(x=red & y=red & z=red) v (x=blue & y=blue & z=blue): All 3 objects are red or all 3 objects are blue
=> ((x=red & y=red) v (x=blue & y=blue): The two objects x,y are all red or blue
(y=red & z=red) v (y=blue & z=blue) v: The two objects y,z are all red or blue
(x=red & z=red) v (x=blue & z=blue)): The two objects x,z are all red or blue

In summary the Predicate C states:

"If three objects are each painted either red or blue,
then there must be at least two objects of the same color."

You can also use another reading of "each",
like for example:

C2(red, blue,x,y,z) <=> ((x=red v x=blue) v (y=red v y=blue) & (z=red v z=blue)
=> ((x=red & y=red) v (x=blue & y=blue) v
(y=red & z=red) v (y=blue & z=blue) v
(x=red & z=red) v (x=blue & z=blue)))

C2 also "obvisouly" satisfies:

Yes. Just your first 3 lines for now in DC Proof format. By the time you finish that, I think even you will appreciate the difficulties and give up. It certainly won't be any simpler or easier than just working out the 2nd case as I have already done.

What an idiotic "proof" (not your fault Dan). We can't just assume that. [Well, technically we can, but...]

Actually, we might consider 2 cases:

1. Assume that non of the objects is red. Then, since "each [of the objects is] painted either red or blue" all objects are blue. But that means that "at least two objects [are] of the same color." So for this case we have proved "the claim".

2. Assume that at least one of the objects is red.

NOW we might proceed: "Assume, without loss of generality, that _the first_ object is red." etc.

Cont.: "If either of the other two objects is red, then we are finished; if not, then the other two objects must both be blue and we are still finished."

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_loss_of_generality#Example

Again this proof is nonsense. What the hell is "the first" object if there are just three object without an order defined on them? Huh?!

It's just the other way round, since there is at least one red object we may just pick one of theses red objects and call it "the first object". etc. THEN we can proceed: "If either of the other two objects is red, then we are finished; if not, then the other two objects must both be blue and we are still finished."

A typical nonsense Wikipedia entry.

AM(card(M) = 3 & Am(m e M -> red(m) | blue(m)) -> card({m e M : red(m)} >= 2 v card({m e M : blue(m)} >= 2).

Actually, seems to be an application of the pigeonhole principle to me.

"In mathematics, the pigeonhole principle states that if n items are put into m containers, with n > m, then at least one container must contain more than one item. For example, if one has three gloves (and none is ambidextrous/reversible), then there must be at least two right-handed gloves, or at least two left-handed gloves, because there are three objects, but only two categories of handedness to put them into."

Ruth Charney, Ken Ribet, Andrew Wiles, Terence Tao, Thomas Hales, John Stillwell, Jill Pipher, Ruth Charney, Ken Ribet, Andrew Beal, John Baez, Roger Penrose, Gerald Edgar, AMS, no-one there can do a Geometry Proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, all they can offer is a limit analysis, so shoddy in logic they never realized that "analyzing" is not the same as "proving" for analyzing is much in the same as "measuring but not proving". And yet, none can do a geometry proof and the reason is quite clear for none can even see that the slant cut in single right-circular cone is a Oval, never the ellipse. So they could never do a geometry proof of FTC even if they wanted to. For they have no logical geometry brain to begin to do anything geometrical. Is it that Andrew Wiles and Terence Tao cannot understand the slant cut in single cone is an Oval, never the ellipse, or is it the foolish Boole logic they teach of 2 OR 1 = 3 with AND as subtraction? Not having a Logical brain to do math, for any rational person would be upset by Wiles, Tao saying truth table of AND is TFFF when it actually is TTTF. Is that why neither Terence Tao or Andrew Wiles can do a geometry proof Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

Maybe they need to take up Earle Jones offer to wash dishes or pots at Stanford Univ or where ever, for they sure cannot do mathematics.
Why are these people failures of Math?? For none can even contemplate these 4 questions.

1) think a slant cut in single cone is a ellipse when it is proven to be a Oval, never the ellipse. For the cone and oval have 1 axis of symmetry, while ellipse has 2.
2) think Boole logic is correct with AND truth table being TFFF when it really is TTTF in order to avoid 2 OR 1 =3 with AND as subtraction
3) can never do a geometry proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and are too ignorant in math to understand that analysis of something is not proving something in their "limit hornswaggle"
4) too stupid in science to ask the question of physics-- is the 1897 Thomson discovery of a 0.5MeV particle actually the Dirac magnetic monopole and that the muon is the true electron of atoms stuck inside a 840MeV proton torus doing the Faraday law. Showing that Peter Higgs, Sheldon Glashow, Ed Witten, John Baez, Roger Penrose, Arthur B. McDonald are sapheads when it comes to logical thinking in physics with their do nothing proton, do nothing electron.


Is Jim Holt, Virginia Klenk, David Agler, Susanne K. Langer, Gary M. Hardegree, Raymond M. Smullyan,
John Venn, William Gustason, Richmond H. Thomason, more of propagandists and belong in "Abnormal Psychology" dept than in the department of logic, like Dan Christensen a laugh a minute logician? Probably because none can admit slant cut in single cone is a Oval, never the ellipse, due to axes of symmetry for cone and oval have 1 while ellipse has 2. Why they cannot even count beyond 1. Yet their minds were never good enough to see the error nor admit to their mistakes. They failed logic so badly they accept Boole's insane AND truth table of TFFF when it is TTTF avoiding the painful 2 OR 1 = 3 with AND as subtraction. Or is it because none of these logicians has a single marble of logic in their entire brain to realize calculus requires a geometry proof of Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, not a "limit analysis" for analysis is like a measurement, not a proving exercise. Analysis does not prove, only adds data and facts, but never is a proof of itself. I analyze things daily, and none of which is a proof. So are all these logicians like what Clutterfreak the propaganda stooge says they are.

This would be the first book in that 8 book set (one of the books is a companion book to 1st year college). But I suppose that I needed to write the full series before I could write the Introduction and know what I had to talk about and talk about in a logical progression order. Sounds paradoxical in a sense, that I needed to write the full series first and then go back and write the Introduction. But in another sense, hard to write an introduction on something you have not really fully done and completed. For example to know what is error filled Old Math and to list those errors in a logical order requires me to write the full 7 volumes in order to list in order the mistakes.

> > Cover Picture: Mathematics begins with counting, with numbers, with quantity. But counting numbers needs geometry for something to count in the first place. So here in this picture of the generalized Hydrogen atom of chemistry and physics is a torus geometry of 8 rings of a proton torus and one ring where my fingers are, is a equator ring that is the muon and thrusting through the proton torus at the equator of the torus. So we count 9 rings in all. So math is created by atoms and math numbers exist because atoms have many geometry figures to count. And geometry exists because atoms have shapes and different figures.

> > The main major topic is the AP-EM equations of electricity and magnetism, the mathematics for the laws of electricity and magnetism; what used to be called the Maxwell Equations of Physics. The 1st Year College Math has to prepare all students with the math for all the sciences. So 1st year college Math is like a huge intersection station that has to prepare students with the math they need to do the hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, geology, etc. What this means is, 1st year college is calculus that allows the student to work with electricity and magnetism. All the math that is needed to enable students to do electricity and magnetism. In Old Math before this textbook, those Old Math textbooks would end in 1/3 of the text about Arclength, vector space, div, curl, Line Integral, Green's, Stokes, Divergence theorem trying to reach and be able to teach Maxwell Equations. But sadly, barely any Old Math classroom reached that 1/3 ending of the textbook, and left all those college students without any math to tackle electricity and magnetism. And most of Old Math was just muddle headed wrong even if they covered the last 1/3 of the textbook. And that is totally unacceptable in science. This textbook fixes that huge hole and gap in Old Math education.

The beginning of this textbook and the middle section all leads into the ending of this textbook-- we learn the AP-EM Equations and how to use those equations. And there is no escaping the fact that it has to be hands on physics experiments in the classroom of mathematics.

It is the continuation of volume 3 in the end-goal of learning how to do the mathematics of electricity and magnetism, because everything in physics is nothing but atoms and atoms are nothing but electricity and magnetism. To know math, you have to know physics. We learned the Calculus of 2nd dimension and applied it to the equations of physics for electricity and magnetism. But we did not learn the calculus of those equations for 3rd dimension. So, you can say that Sophomore year College math is devoted to 3D Calculus. This sophomore year college we fill in all the calculus, and we start over on all of Geometry, for geometry needs a modern day revision. And pardon me for this book is mostly reading, and the students doing less calculations. The classroom of this textbook has the teacher go through page by page to get the students comprehending and understanding of what is being taught. There are many hands on experiments also.

> > This is volume 5, book 6 of Teaching True Mathematics, designed for College Junior-year students, students of age 20-21. In first year college Calculus we learned calculus of the 2nd dimension and applied it to the equations of physics for electricity and magnetism. And in sophomore year we learned calculus of 3rd dimension to complete our study of the mathematics needed to do the physics of electricity and magnetism. Now, junior year college, we move onto something different, for we focus mostly on logic now and especially the logic of what is called the "mathematical proof". Much of what the student has learned about mathematics so far has been given to her or him as stated knowledge, accept it as true because I say so. But now we are going to do math proofs. Oh, yes, we did prove a few items here and there, such as why the Decimal Grid Number system is so special, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, such as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus with its right-triangle hinged up or down. But many ideas we did not prove, we just stated them and expected all students to believe them true. And you are now juniors in college and we are going to start to prove many of those ideas and teach you "what is a math proof". Personally, I myself feel that the math proof is overrated, over hyped. But the math proof is important for one reason-- it makes you better scientists of knowing what is true and what is a shaky idea. A math proof is the same as "thinking straight and thinking clearly". And all scientists need to think straight and think clearly. But before we get to the Mathematics Proof, we have to do Probability and Statistics. What you learned in Grade School, then High School, then College, called Sigma Error, now becomes Probability and Statistics. It is important because all sciences including mathematics needs and uses Probability and Statistics. So, our job for junior-year of college mathematics is all cut out and ahead for us, no time to waste, let us get going.

Probably because math professors rarely learned how to teach in the first place; only learned how to unintentionally obfuscate. The page I photographed is important because it is the interface between geometry's perimeter or surface area versus geometry's area or volume, respectively. Or, an interface of pure numbers with that of geometry. But I have more to say on this below.

In past history we have called these incidents as "doubters of the mainstream". Yet math, like physics, can have no permanent mainstream, since there is always question of correctness in physics, there then corresponds questions of correctness in mathematics (because math is a subset of physics). What I mean is that each future generation corrects some mistakes of past mathematics. If anyone is unsure of what I am saying here, both math and physics need constant correcting, of that which never belonged in science. This then converges with the logic-philosophy of Pragmatism (see AP's book of logic on Pragmatism).

STUDENTS BEWARE: Don't be a victim of AP's fake math and science

Time for another spanking, Archie Poo? When will you learn? Once again...

From his antics here at sci.math, it is obvious that AP has abandoned all hope of being recognized as a credible personality. He is a malicious internet troll who now wants only to mislead and confuse students. He may not be all there, but his fake math and science can only be meant to promote failure in schools. One can only guess at his motives. Is it revenge for his endless string of personal failures in life? Who knows.

In AP's OWN WORDS here that, over the years, he has NEVER renounced or withdrawn:

“Primes do not exist, because the set they were borne from has no division.”
--June 29, 2020

“The last and largest finite number is 10^604.”
--June 3, 2015

“0 appears to be the last and largest finite number”
--June 9, 2015

“0/0 must be equal to 1.”
-- June 9, 2015

“0 is an infinite irrational number.”
--June 28, 2015

“No negative numbers exist.”
--December 22, 2018

“Rationals are not numbers.”
--May 18, 2019

According to AP's “chess board math,” an equilateral triangle is a right-triangle.
--December 11, 2019

Which could explain...

“The value of sin(45 degrees) = 1.” (Actually 0.707)
--May 31, 2019

AP deliberately and repeatedly presented the truth table for OR as the truth table for AND:

“New Logic
AND
T & T = T
T & F = T
F & T = T
F & F = F”
--November 9, 2019

AP seeks aid of Russian agents to promote failure in schools:

"Please--Asking for help from Russia-- russian robots-- to create a new, true mathematics [sic]. What I like for the robots to do, is list every day, about 4 Colleges ( of the West) math dept, and ask why that math department is teaching false and fake math, and if unable to change to the correct true math, well, simply fire that math department until they can find professors who recognize truth in math from fakery...."
--November 9, 2017


And if that wasn't weird enough...

“The totality, everything that there is [the universe], is only 1 atom of plutonium [Pu]. There is nothing outside or beyond this one atom of plutonium.”
--April 4, 1994

“The Universe itself is one gigantic big atom.”
--November 14, 2019

AP's sinister Atom God Cult of Failure???

“Since God-Pu is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Atom Plutonium!
Its truth is marching on.
It has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
It is sifting out the hearts of people before its judgment seat;
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer it; be jubilant, my feet!
Our God-Pu is marching on.”
--December 15, 2018 (Note: Pu is the atomic symbol for plutonium)

Ha Ha, if we were to ask Dan Christense to prove the
theorem "Every Planar Map is Four-Colorable", and if

we would give him that the colors are:

{red, green, blue, yellow}

He would possibly produce 4! = 24 proofs, depending
how the crayons are layed out on the table, for the

poor hypothetical guy who needs to color all the
infinitely many possible planar graph. LoL

Poor Jan Burse here claimed that there existed a formal, mathematical shortcut to a simple proof I had presented. (See original posting.) He failed and was unable to prove it. Now he can now only hope to muddy the waters by changing the subject. Really kind of pathetic.

How does this help establish of your supposed mathematical shortcut, Jan Burse? Recall that you will STILL need to establish, as on my line 96, that

color(x)=blue => EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

in significantly fewer than 31 lines to qualify as a "shortcut."

See symmetry breaking theorem below. We can now make
some "without loss of generality" reasoning. Now you can prove:

/* Spezialize on red */
ALL(x):ALL(y):ALL(y):ALL(r):ALL(b):(x=r=> C(r,b,x,y,z))

This was already proved:

/* Theorem: Swap "3 objects either red or blue" => "2 out of 3 all reds or blues" */
ALL(x):ALL(y):ALL(y):ALL(r):ALL(b):(C(r,b,x,y,z) => C(b,r,x,y,z))

Then you may automatically conclude:

/* Spezialize on blue */
ALL(x):ALL(y):ALL(y):ALL(r):ALL(b):(x=b=> C(r,b,x,y,z))

Yeah, its done! Even with clumsy tool like DC Poop.

Not even started, Jan Burse. Again, you need to establish that:

color(x)=blue => EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

in significantly LESS than 31 lines to quality as any kind of "shortcut." Quit wasting your time and get busy, Jan Burse.

No I don't need. Wikipedia says nowhere that there is
a function color. When you have 3 objects, you can
use variables x,y,z for their colors. Just read Wikipedia:

"If three objects are each painted either red or blue, then
there must be at least two objects of the same color."

Whats wrong with you Wonky Man? Did your brain get evacuated?

You really do need to prove: color(x)=blue => EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

It seems you have failed again, Jan Burse. Oh, well...

Hey Wonky Man is your DC Proof tool made of chinesium?

It seems to be extremly fragile, can even not prove the simplest
things. And how do you think the Pigeonhole principle is formulate
in a SAT Solver?

Ask pehou...@gmail.com he will tell you. If you have two boxes
red and blue, and 3 pingeons. So its a Pingeon(2,3) problem,
how will it be formulate? With a function color?

LMAO!

You will even have more variables if we would do the Pigeonhole principle:

> State of affair is represented as:
> Xij <=> pigeon i is placed in hole j i in 0..n-1, j in 0..m-1
> Clause for each pigeon that it is placed in at least one hole:
> Xi0 v .. v Xim-1 i in 0..n-1
> Clauses for each hole that it carries maximally one pigeon:
> ~Xij v ~Xkj i in 0..n-1, k in i+1..n-1, j in 0..m-1.
> Should work correctly for n>=m.

The outcome for two boxes red and blue, will be basically
that you cannot place 3 pigeons each in its own box.

So we have n=3, m=2. This gives a matrice of 3x2 variables:

X11 X12
X21 X22
X31 X32

And the boolean conditions are:

X11 v X12
X21 v X22
X31 v X32
~X11 v ~X21
~X11 v ~X31
~X21 v ~X31
~X12 v ~X22
~X12 v ~X32
~X22 v ~X32

So using a SAT solvere for example from SWI-Prolog we get:

?- use_module(library(clpb)).
true.

?- sat((X11+X12)*
(X21+X22)*
(X31+X32)*
(~X11+ ~X21)*
(~X11+ ~X31)*
(~X21+ ~X31)*
(~X12+ ~X22)*
(~X12+ ~X32)*
(~X22+ ~X32)).
false.

So lets sum up why DC Proof is made of chinesium:

- Failure 1: Wonky Man cannot use his own take
with a color function, to show a WLOG inference.

- Failure 2: Wonky Man is not able to understand
the 3 variables x,y,z solution that shows a WLOG inference.

- Failure 3: Given Failure 1 and Failure 2, I guess
a SAT solver Pigeon principle is also out of reach for Wonky Man.

See the subject line here, Jan Burse. I make no claim of any kind formal shortcut based WLOG. Quite the contrary. You, on the other claimed you had found such a shortcut. Alas, it didn't pan out. You had failed once again.

Poor Jan Burse could not prove the case of the first object being blue using his supposed shortcut. He thinks he doesn't have to. Really kind of pathetic. Yet another failure.

Even better:

with: P | Q =def (P v Q) & ~(P & Q).

How about:

AM: |M| = 3 & Am(m e M -> color(m) e {red, blue}) -> EmEn(m e M & n e M & m =/= n & color(m) = color(n)).

So what? We may consider the /color/ of an object an intrinsic property of it. Remember functions and, say, their domain? (There we might refer to the domain of a function f with dom(f). In the same way we may refer to the color of an object o with color(o).)

AM: |M| = 3 & Am(m e M -> color(m) e {red, blue}) -> EmEn(m e M & n e M & m =/= n & color(m) = color(n)).

"If three objects are each painted either red or blue, then there must be at least two objects of the same color."

Of course we may work with sets of objects of a certain color as well, in this case we would have, say,

x e Red <-> color(x) = red and x e Blue <-> color(x) = blue .

"x is (a) red (object) iff its color is red" and "x is (a) blue (object) iff its color is blue".

No?

Did you see my proof? https://www.dcproof.com/WithoutLossOfGenerality.htm

In lines 1-13, I effectively define:

s = {x, y, z}
colors = {red, blue}
color: s --> colors

But this isn't the issue here. I proved the required result by considering two cases: (1) color(x)=red, and (2) color(x)=blue. I proved both by a similar "brute force" method looking at all possible colorings. Jan Burse claims, but cannot formally prove, that proof of the 2nd case can be skipped by using a "shortcut" based on a proof "without loss of generality." I don't think he quite understands what that means. I think it isn't something that can be generally formalized. It is an INFORMAL shortcut that relies on the experience of the reader to recognize the intuitive symmetry of the situation. In this case, it is "intuitively obvious" that it shouldn't matter which color you choose to consider first. But how to formalize that notion in simple, efficient way? There's the rub!

You are a liar, again and again. Of couse we can prove
your result, you asshole, your are only too stupid.

Its very easy, if you have 3 objects u,v,w,
and their colors color(u)=x, color(v)=y, color(w)=z.

Then if you prove a theorem P(x,y,z) about these
colors, then its also a theorem P(color(u),color(v),color(w)).

Whats wrong with you? See here:

Here's your assignment, Jan Burse:

Using DC Proof or the system of natural deduction of your choice, and your WLOG shortcut, formally prove:

EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

Given the following axioms.

Define: s = {x, y, z}

1 Set(s)
Axiom

2 x in s
Axiom

3 y in s
Axiom

4 z in s
Axiom

5 ~x=y
Axiom

6 ~x=z
Axiom

7 ~y=z
Axiom

8 ALL(a):[a in s <=> a=x | a=y | a=z]
Axiom


Define: colors = {red, blue}

9 Set(colors)
Axiom

10 red in colors
Axiom

11 blue in colors
Axiom

12 ~red=blue
Axiom

13 ALL(a):[a in colors <=> a=red | a=blue]
Axiom


Define: The color function, color: s --> colors

14 ALL(a):[a in s => color(a) in colors]
Axiom


Previous results (optional)

15 color(x)=red | color(x)=blue
Axiom

16 color(x)=red
=> EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]
Axiom

Good luck.

Whats your prolololoblem Wonky Man? Still level 1000 stupid?
Thats your assignment. Moron. Its relatively trivial with x,y,z colors.
so we prove towards ultimately proving: First recall what is

our goal, what we want to prove, call the logical matrice of it by the
name C(r,b,x,y,z), the logical matrice is what is inside the quantifier block:

Theorem: "3 objects either red or blue" => "2 out of 3 all reds or blues"
ALL(x):ALL(y):ALL(z):ALL(r):ALL(b):[[x=r | x=b] & [y=r | y=b] & [z=r | z=b] =>
x=r & y=r | x=b & y=b | [x=r & z=r | x=b & z=b] | [y=r & z=r | y=b & z=b]]]

And intermediate step, that you seem to have requested, is to prove a
different logical matrice, namely x=r => C(r,b,x,y,z). Quite trivial:

53 ALL(x):ALL(r):ALL(b):ALL(y):ALL(z):[x=r =>
[[x=r | x=b] & [y=r | y=b] & [z=r | z=b] =>

I'm sure there are several ways to obtain the required result, but you were supposed to use your WLOG shortcut to obtain from the above axioms that:

EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a in s & b in s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]

How about it, Jan Burse? If that is not possible, or too difficult, just say so.

It your "shortcut" is more than 31 lines, it really isn't much of a shortcut.

Now if you can prove the theorem without using x=red and x=blue
essentially same proof twice, then you can also prove
EXIST(p):EXIST(q):[~p=q => color(p)=color(q)] without using
essentially same proof twice.

Or do you disagree on this observation?

Unless I have missed something, it seems you have given up on your WLOG proof, Jan Burse. When it comes to formal WLOG proofs, it seems you will need some kind axiom schema(s) for various types of proofs that exploit some kind of symmetry. I see nothing like that in your proofs here.

"Without loss of generality" is easily defineable,
it's called type theory and extensionality.

I would like to know how can it be applied even to something as simple as the above example of 3 colored beads--red or blue. That is, how can we formally determine from this setup that we need only examine only a single case? Maybe you can give it a try using this "type theory and extensionality."

We can deduce:

Theorem "Specialization to b"
ALL(x):ALL(r):ALL(b):ALL(y):ALL(z):[x=b =>
[[x=r | x=b] & [y=r | y=b] & [z=r | z=b] =>
x=r & y=r | x=b & y=b | [x=r & z=r | x=b & z=b] | [y=r & z=r | y=b & z=b]]]

This is left as an exercise. If would the follow what
is used in the first proof.

It's for any matter of abstraction, just noting that a change in context of
the objects, still keeps all the previous possible derivations in place for
the following derivations. (The, "generality".)

I have zero or no interest in writing in your tool, per se.



Have you heard of Russell's types? It's "types" in "sets".

Have you ever read a text on type theory?

It's very fundamental these days for programming in computer science.

The Ramsey reading could allow to explain this formula:

Then one edge unicolored:

Then another edge unicolored :

What are p and q? Elements of some set? Also, you should avoid applying existential specification to conditionals like this. Have you learned nothing from the Drinker's Paradox? EXIST(x):[A(x) => B] is always true regardless of which A and B are used, provided only that EXIST(x):~A(x). A(x) would be quite useless otherwise.

On p. 2 we have an example of the following WLOG theorem:

"For any property P of two real numbers, if the property is symmetric between those two numbers (∀x y. P x y ⇔ P y x) and assuming x ≤ y the property holds (∀x y. x ≤ y ⇒ P x y), then we can conclude that it holds for all real numbers (∀x y. P x y)."

In the notation of DC Proof:

ALL(x):ALL(y):[x in r & y in r => [P(x,y) <=> P(y,x)]]
& ALL(x):ALL(y):[x in r & y in r => [x<=y => P(x,y)]]

=> ALL(x):ALL(y):[x in r & y in r => P(x,y)]

On what line in your proof do you cite such a theorem?

> What are p and q? Elements of some set? Also, you should avoid applying existential specification to conditionals like this. Have you learned nothing from the Drinker's Paradox? EXIST(x):[A(x) => B] is always true regardless of which A and B are used, provided only that EXIST(x):~A(x). A(x) would be quite useless otherwise.

Likewise for two variables: EXIST(x):EXIST(y):[A(x,y) => B] is always true provided EXIST(x):EXIST(y):~A(x,y).

You really need to fix up your conclusion.

Existentially quantified variables. Why do you ask?
Never seen a formula in logic.

What do you see in the morning when you look into
the mirror? A stupid idiot dickhead?

To the best of my knowledge:

EXIST(x):(A(x) & B(x)) implies EXIST(x):B(x)

So you could also use your:

97 EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[a e s & b e s & [~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]]
Cases, 19, 96

And then derive:

EXIST(a):EXIST(b):[~a=b & color(a)=color(b)]

If you were not a complete imbecile. But unfortunately
you don´t have a single brain cell.

See here, the more simpler theorem:

You could easily add some axioms u e s, v e s and w e s,
and then prove your variant, but this doesn´t add much.

Your final conclusion was:

117 EXIST(p):EXIST(q):[~p=q => color(p)=color(q)]

> You could easily add some axioms u e s, v e s and w e s,

Your final conclusion (above) is of the form EXIST(p):EXIST(q):[~p=q => X]. It would be true no matter what proposition you substituted for X. You could even prove EXIST(p):EXIST(q):[~p=q => ~color(p)=color(q)] (negating the consequent). Not good.

Can you prove this WLOG principle?

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(* A "without loss of generality" lemma for symmetry. *)
(* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *)

∀a∀b(Pa → Cab) ∧
∀a∀b(Cab → Cba) →
∀a∀b(Pb → Cab)

Its the basis for this here, which you could't solve using some WLOG:

"If three objects are each painted either red or blue,
then there must be at least two objects of the same color."

Maybe give it a second try?

LMAO!

How about something a little more conventional with no mysterious, unspecified domain in the background:

ALL(a):ALL(b):[U(a) & U(b) => [P(a) => C(a,b)]]
& ALL(a):ALL(b):[U(a) & U(b) => [C(a,b) => C(b,a)]]
=> ALL(a):ALL(b):[U(a) & U(b) => [P(b) => C(a,b)]]

Explain. What are U, P and C in this case?
