Theorem negsym1 32416
Description: In the paper "On Variable Functors of Propositional Arguments", Lukasiewicz introduced a system that can handle variable connectives. This was done by introducing a variable, marked with a lowercase delta, which takes a wff as input. In the system, "delta  ph " means that "something is true of 
ph." "delta  ph " can be substituted with  -.  ph,  ps  /\ 
ph,  A. x ph, etc.

Later on, Meredith discovered a single axiom, in the form of  ( delta delta F.  -> delta  ph  ). This represents the shortest theorem in the extended propositional calculus that cannot be derived as an instance of a theorem in propositional calculus.
