 This rule is sometimes also referred to as _Constructive Dilemma_. This can be a bit tricky to understand because the goal is to derive or _introduce_ a new proposition separate from the disjunction you start out with. This may be disjunction, a single proposition or a proposition containing any other logical connective. You do this by constructing two sub-proofs, one for each of the disjuncts comprising the disjunction you start out with. If you can derive your target proposition as the conclusion of each subproof then you may invoke the conclusion in the main proof and take it to be derived.

 This rule can seem a little odd: like we are randomly introducing an additional proposition without giving any justification. However this is just a consequence of the fact if $P$ is true, so is $P \lor Q$ since disjunction is not the same as conjunction: only one disjunct needs to be true for the compound disjunction to be true. This is represented in the context of [truth-trees](Truth-trees.md#disjunction-decomposition) by the fact that truth can pass up via either branch of a disjunction pattern.
 This rule is sometimes also referred to (confusingly) as _Addition_.

 When we construct a formal proof in logic we are seeking to show that a certain proposition is **derivable** from other propositions. We use the words _derivation_ and _proof_ interchangeably.
 
 > A sentence $P$ is derivable in a system of propositional logic from a finite set of sentences if and only if there is a derivation in this system in which all and only the members of the set are **primary assumptions** and $P$ is the sentence on the last line.

 For instance to demonstrate derivability for:
 
 $$
-{\sim F \lor D, F, D \supset (G & H)} \vdash G &H
+\{ \lnot F \lor D, F, D \rightarrow (G \land H) \} \vdash G \land H
 $$
 
 We would establish $\sim F \lor D, F, D \supset (G & H)$ as primary assumptions and then, using the derivation rules of the system conclude with $G&H$. Every sentence in the derivation is either a **primary assumption** or an **auxiliary** assumption or justified by the rules of the derivation. An auxiliary assumption is one belonging to a sub-derivation. The primary assumptions belong to the main derivation.
