Modus Ponens

It is the most direct conditional step: the condition holds, so its consequence follows.

01 / SUMMARY

In short

The form is: if A, then B; A; therefore B. In classical logic it is valid, provided the conditional and the assertion of A stand.

03 / SCENE

In the wild

If the correct key turns, the door opens. The correct key turns. Therefore, the door opens.

04 / LIMIT

The limit

The rule alone does not prove that the opening conditional accurately describes the world.

FINAL NOTE

What remains

Spot the form, but also audit the link between condition and consequence.
