On p. 134, Grice extends his natural deduction system to cover the 'atomic' (not molecular) identity formula:
a = b
---
For which he adds to the previous one two formation rules:
1. for w1=n w2 is a formula
2. If aj+k =j bj+i is a formula, aj+k=mbetaj+i is a formula, where m>j+k and m>k+l.
---
The two inference rules which are added read:
1. (=, +):
Gamma /- Awn+mwn-l =n wn-l ('weak identity law')
2. (=, -).
aj=m betak, phi /- phi (beta/alpha)
(substitutivity on both strong and weak identity).
