Proof

(related to Lemma: It is true that something can be (either) true or false)

We want to show that for every proposition \(x\) the disjunction \(x\vee \neg x\) is a tautology. This can be easily verified: By definition of disjunction, any possible semantics of \(x\) makes the compound proposition \(x\vee \neg x\) valid:

\([[x]]_I\) \([[x]]_I\) \([[x\vee \neg x]]_I\)
\(1\) \(0\) \(1\)
\(0\) \(1\) \(1\)
