| Abstract: |
The completeness of first-order logic is proved, following the first five
pages of Wainer and Wallen's chapter of the book Proof Theory by Aczel
et al., CUP, 1992. Their presentation of formulas allows the proofs to use
symmetry arguments.
Margetson formalized this theorem by early 2000. The Isar conversion is thanks
to Tom Ridge. A paper describing the formalization is available [pdf].
