Explanation Definition: For a letter game with three undefined terms, the letters M , I and U and one definition which defines x as any string of I ’s and U ’s, the four axioms defined are: 1. Addition rule – For a string of letters ending in I , letter U may be added at the end. 2. Doubling rule – If there is Mx , then x may be added to get Mxx . 3. Substitution rule – If there are three I ’s ( III ), then this string can be replaced by U . 4 . Deletion rule – If UU occurs, it is dropped. Proof: Consider the given string of letters MI . It has to be proved that it is equivalent to MIIUIIU . Use doubling rule and add a I at the end of MI. M I → M I I Again use doubling rule and add a I at the end of MI. M I I → M I I I Again use doubling rule and add a I at the end of MIII. M I I I → M I I I I Once again use doubling rule and add a I at the end of MIIII
