Extract

Let LIC be the implicational fragment of Dummett's LC, axiomatised by Bull in [1] by adding the axiom (L) CCCpqrCCCqprr to positive implication. The system which Bull in [2] calls OIC, i.e. positive implication plus (0) CCCCpqqrCCCpqrr, is contained in LIC (it is thesis 34 in [1], p. 193); but it does not contain it, as the following matrix (due to Bull)

verifies OIC but not (L) (CCC342CCC4322 = 2). Nor is (L) deducible in OIC supplemented by intuitionist axioms for negation, since the latter are all verified by the above matrix with Cp5 for Np.
