Theorem mtpxor 1696
Description: Modus tollendo ponens (original exclusive-or version), aka disjunctive syllogism, similar to mtpor 1695, one of the five "indemonstrables" in Stoic logic. The rule says, "if  ph is not true, and either  ph or  ps (exclusively) are true, then  ps must be true." Today the name "modus tollendo ponens" often refers to a variant, the inclusive-or version as defined in mtpor 1695. See rule 3 on [Lopez-Astorga] p. 12 (note that the "or" is the same as mptxor 1694, that is, it is exclusive-or df-xor 1465), rule 3 of [Sanford] p. 39 (where it is not as clearly stated which kind of "or" is used but it appears to be in the same sense as mptxor 1694), and rule A5 in [Hitchcock] p. 5 (exclusive-or is expressly used).
