4.5 Implication elimination

This one is simpler than the previous, since it does not deal with suppositions but with facts:


\begin{displaymath}\begin{fitch*}
\par
m & A \Rightarrow B \\
\par
n & A \\
\par
\hline
\par
& B & E$\Rightarrow$\ m,n
\par
\end{fitch*} \end{displaymath}

Simply, if we are told that when $A$ also happens $B$ (that's what it means $A\Rightarrow B$), and they also tell us that now happens $A$, then we can assure that $B$.

This rule is also named modus ponens.
