Girard, Lafont and Taylor: ProofsandTypes , Chapter 2 Greg Restall Terms for Classical Sequents 7 of 67 Natural deduction is a slightly paradoxical system: it is limited to the intuitionistic case (in the classical case it has no particularly good properties) but it is only satisfactory for the ( ∧ , ⇒ , ∀ ) fragment of the language: we shall defer consideration of ∨ and ∃ until chapter 10. Yet disjunction and existence are the two most typically intuitionistic connectors! The basic idea of natural deduction is an asymmetry: a proof is a vaguely tree-like structure (this view is more a graphical illusion than a mathematical reality, but it is a pleasant illusion) with one or more hypotheses (possibly none) but a single conclusion. The deep symmetry of the calculus is shown by the introduction and elimination rules which match each other exactly. Observe, incidentally, that with a tree-like structure, one can always decide uniquely what was the last rule used, which is something we could not say if there were several conclusions.
