Erasure (logic)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematical logic, a logical system has the erasure property if and only if no subset of the propositions can be added to another subset of the propositions to refute a consequence.
For instance, if proposition A means "the store is open from 800 to 2200" and proposition B means "except Tuesdays", the system AB does NOT have erasure.
