Theorembijust 145 Theorem used to justify definition of biconditional df-bi 147. (The proof was shortened by Josh Purinton, 29-Dec-00.)
|- -. ((ph -> ph) -> -. (ph -> ph))
 
Logical equivalence
 
Syntaxwb 146 Extend our wff definition to include the biconditional connective.
wff (ph <-> ps)
 
Definitiondf-bi 147 This is our first definition, which introduces and defines the biconditional connective <->. We define a wff of the form (ph <-> ps) as an abbreviation for -. ((ph -> ps) -> -. (ps -> ph)).

Unlike most traditional developments, we have chosen not to have a separate symbol such as "Df." to mean "is defined as." Instead, we will later use the biconditional connective for this purpose (df-or 224 is its first use), as it allows us to use logic to manipulate definitions directly. This greatly simplifies many proofs since it eliminates the need for a separate mechanism for introducing and eliminating definitions. Of course, we cannot use this mechanism to define the biconditional itself, since it hasn't been introduced yet.

In its most general form, a definition is simply an assertion that introduces a new symbol (or a new combination of existing symbols, as in df-3an 776) that is eliminable and does not strengthen the existing language. The latter requirement means that the set of provable statements not containing the new symbol (or new combination) should remain exactly the same after the definition is introduced. Our definition of the biconditional may look unusual compared to most definitions, but it strictly satisfies these requirements.

The justification for our definition is that if we mechanically replace the first wff above (the definiendum i.e. the thing being defined) with the second (the definiens i.e. the defining expression) in the definition, the definition becomes a substitution instance of previously proved theorem bijust 145. It is impossible to use df-bi 147 to prove any statement expressed in the original language that can't be proved from the original axioms. For if it were, we could replace it with instances of bijust 145 throughout the proof, thus obtaining a proof from the original axioms (contradiction).

Note that from Metamath's point of view, a definition is just another axiom - i.e. an assertion we claim to be true - but from our high level point of view, we are are not strengthening the language. To indicate this fact, we prefix definition labels with "df-" instead of "ax-". (This prefixing is an informal convention that means nothing to the Metamath proof verifier; it is just for human readability.)

See bii 158 and bi 514 for theorems suggesting the typical textbook definition of <->, showing that our definition has the properties we expect.

Theorembiigb 159 This proof of bii 158, discovered by Gregory Bush on 8-Mar-2004, has several curious properties. First, it has only 17 steps directly from the axioms and df-bi 147, compared to over 800 steps were the proof of bii 158 expanded into axioms. Second, step 2 demands only the property of "true"; any axiom (or theorem) could be used. It might be thought, therefore, that it is in some sense redundant, but in fact no proof is shorter than this (measured by number of steps). Third, it illustrates how intermediate steps can "blow up" in size even in short proofs. Fourth, the compressed proof is only 182 bytes (or 17 bytes in D-proof notation), but the generated web page is over 200kB with intermediate steps that are essentially incomprehensible to humans (other than Gregory Bush). If there were an obfuscated code contest for proofs, this would be a contender.
