Generalising the Identities

Clearly, for each of the above identities there is a corresponding tautology. Hence, to

P v P tex2html_wrap_inline84 P

there corresponds

(P v P) tex2html_wrap_inline120 P. From the substitution rule, it follows that

(tex2html_wrap_inline160 v tex2html_wrap_inline160) tex2html_wrap_inline120 tex2html_wrap_inline160

is a tautology for any formula tex2html_wrap_inline160; therefore

(tex2html_wrap_inline160 v tex2html_wrap_inline160) tex2html_wrap_inline84 tex2html_wrap_inline160
