Definition df-or 197

Description: Define disjunction (logical 'or'). This is our first use of the biconditional connective in a definition; we use it in place of the traditional "<=def=>", which means the same thing, except that we can manipulate the biconditional connective directly in proofs rather than having to rely on an informal definition substitution rule. Note that if we mechanically substitute (-. ph -> ps) for (ph \/ ps), we end up with an instance of previously proved theorem pm4.2 148. This is the justification for the definition, along with the fact that it introduces a new symbol \/. Definition of [Margaris] p. 49.
