Acknowledgements

Thanks to Herman Geuvers for explaining me truth-table natural deduction during a 2018 visit to Nijmegen for the purpose of Henning Basold’s PhD ceremony. Thanks to Ralph Matthes, Herman Geuvers and Tonny Hurkens for some email discussions on the topics of this article. I am also grateful for the feedback of the reviewer that led to a substantial clarification of the proof using orthogonality.

Abstract

Intuitionistic truth table natural deduction (ITTND) by Geuvers and Hurkens (2017), which is inherently non-confluent, has been shown strongly normalizing (SN) using continuation-passing-style translations to parallel lambda calculus by Geuvers, van der Giessen, and Hurkens (2019). We investigate the applicability of standard model-theoretic proof techniques and show (1) SN of detour reduction (β) using Girard’s reducibility candidates, and (2) SN of detour and permutation reduction (βπ) using biorthogonals. In the appendix, we adapt Tait’s method of saturated sets to β, clarifying the original proof of 2017, and extend it to βπ.
