# Negation Introduction
|
|
|
|
This is also known as _proof by contradiction_. You start with an assumption
|
|
declared in a sub-proof. If you can derive a contradiction from this assumption
|
|
(typically from the introduction of another proposition and its negation), then
|
|
you are permitted to derive the negation of the auxiliary assumption in the main
|
|
proof.
