I think I found a shorter proof of  Łukasiewicz's second axiom (L2) from 
Walsh's second axiom (w2):

Statement of L2: CCNppp

My proof of L2: 
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

I verified this finding with the command:

pmGenerator -c -n -s CpCCqCprCCNrCCNstqCsr --parse 
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
 -b -n -o L2.txt

Which generates a text file called "L2.txt" containing the output string: "1. 
CCNppp"

If I understand correctly, the output string should be the statement generated 
by the provided proof, written in Polish notation.  The table on 
https://github.com/xamidi/pmGenerator/discussions/2 reports that the shortest 
known proof of L2 from w2 is 781 steps long, while my proof is 535 steps long, 
so, if everything checks out, mine would be shorter.

@xamidi Does this seem correct to you?

The difficulty of Walsh's second axiom (w2) is rated as "horrible - 10/10" on 
pmGenerator Github page, so this would be a nice result :-)

Nope, ok, definitely I should have looked at those data in the first place (you 
have a nice detailed documentation btw). I'll took some care to look at what 
seems promising. At the moment, this is really just an excuse to get a better 
hand at pmGenerator options and functionalities (basically the same thing I did 
for metamath).

Finding a shorter proof may still be possible if you're lucky, but proving it 
to be minimal is very unlikely, unless you have massive amounts of resources at 
your hands:

Estimated from w5's data 
table<https://xamidi.github.io/pmGenerator/README.html#walshs-5th-axiom-1-basis-ccpqcccrcstcqcnsnpcps-top1000-cardinalities-sample-info>,
 you would have to generate files with a combined size of around 404054704152 * 
2.37^((63-55)/2) bytes, which are approx. 12.75 TB in order to cover all proofs 
up to lenght 63, which would ensure the 65-step proof is minimal.
Moreover, the final step alone would require pmGenerator around 
2173.65*(2173.65 / 759.14)^4 ≈ 146103.49 core-h (i.e. around 16.67 years 
CPU-time) and 759.14*(759.14/320.89)^4 ≈ 23778.51 GiB of RAM, assuming that the 
exponential growth factors do not increase (which they probably do, so it most 
likely is even worse).

As you can see from w5's behavioral 
graph<https://xamidi.github.io/pmGenerator/svg/plot/w5-bgraph.svg>, most 
formulas quickly generated in w5 are insanely long, but this leads to making 
filtering really easy, which led to the short proofs of w5 at 
https://github.com/xamidi/pmGenerator/discussions/2#challenge-proofs without 
too much effort. This also means that w5's conclusions seem to be nicely 
distributed over the whole range of formulas. But since its known proofs are so 
small already, you have to be lucky to still find improvements, and minimal 
proofs might use very long formulas. So I'm not sure w5 is a good choice. 
Regardless of what you'll choose in the end, I wish you good luck and much 
success!

For now I'll keep doing something simple, just to get more confidence with the 
tool. In the discussion https://github.com/xamidi/pmGenerator/discussions/2 I 
read that it should be easy to handle Walsh's fift axiom 
https://xamidi.github.io/pmGenerator/svg/walsh5th.svg, so I think I'll try to 
minimize the proof of "id" from it (since I also read that you exhausted the 
search up to 55 steps, but the shortest proof that you know of id is 65 steps, 
this means that even if I don't find anything, I could confirm that the current 
known proof is the shortest possible, which is interesting information).

My computer is relatively mediocre, but it's not the first time I stress it to 
do long running math related computations (like minimizing 
set.mm<http://set.mm> proofs, reducing
axioms in set.mm<http://set.mm> or excluding a composite number in GIMPS 
https://www.mersenne.org/).

Ok, I might now understand what Gino was about. This is a great clarification!
I'd like to add that as long as the operators of a system are functionally 
complete and it proves all theorems over those formulas, the system implicitly 
proves all theorems in propositional logic, which can be taken as aliases, just 
like pmproofs.txt<https://us.metamath.org/mmsolitaire/pmproofs.txt> does it  — 
e.g. to prove *1.2:"((P v P) -> P)", one actually proves "((~ P -> P) -> P)".
For Boolean algebra over {⊼}, this could be solved by using something like 
x⊼(x⊼x)=f(ψ) as an alias for each propositional formula ψ, where f converts any 
propositional formula over any desired operators into a corresponding formula 
in terms of ⊼, e.g. f(⊤)= x⊼(x⊼x), f(a∨b)=(a⊼a)⊼(b⊼b), etc.

Metamath avoids implicit aliases by using "definitions" which are in fact 
axioms, since they introduce further symbols into the object language for 
convenience. Minimalistic deductive systems do not do this.

I should probably also note that version 1.2.0 was released 3 months ago, and

recently added some nice graphical overviews to the readme file).

If you are asking for technical details, sorry but I do not care enough about

doesn't need to combine a bunch of rules for what in Boolean algebra is 
considered a single step.

The axiomatization I provided, based on wolfram's axiom, is complete for 
Boolean algebra already. That's exactly the point. I think you can be slightly 
more minimalistic and use euc instead of trans, as follows:

${ euc.1 $e |- p = q $.  euc.2 $e |- p = r $.
   euc $a |- q = r $. $}

${ naeq.1 $e |- p = q $.  naeq.2 $e |- r = s $.
   naeq $a |- ( p r ) = ( q s ) $. $}

ax $a |- ( ( ( p q ) r ) ( p ( ( p r ) p ) ) ) = r $.

refl $p |- p = p $=
  ( tna ax euc ) AABABZAEBBAAAAACZFD $.

${ symm.1 $e |- p = q $.
   symm $p |- q = p $=
     ( refl euc ) ABACADE $. $}

${ trans.1 $e |- p = q $.  trans.2 $e |- q = r $.
   trans $p |- p = r $=
     ( symm euc ) BACABDFEG $. $}

What it means to be "complete for boolean algebra" here is that metamath can 
prove |- ( ph <-> ps ) iff the above axiomatization can prove |- p = q, where p 
and q are the encodings of ph and ps as NAND formulas respectively.

"<->" / "=" is an equivalence relation, so reflexivity, transitivity and 
symmetry of it must be covered by rules. 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation#Definition)

Essentially, I would look at what Wolfram's system is able to do and introduce 
rules until they (in combination) can do everything that is required.

Then also provide the axiom, and you're done.
I understood Mario's approach as doing just that, except that he provided a 
fundamental axiomatization, not one merely proven on top of another system 
(like set.mm<http://set.mm>).

The most natural way to do this in set.mm<http://set.mm> would be to simply 
take the equivalents of the above axioms as pseudo-axioms in a section, namely 
{bicomi,bitri} | bitr3i, nanbi12i, and wolfram (i.e. the axiom you get by 
transcribing 'ax' above using wnan and wbi).

To be clear, this axiom system will not be able to prove all theorems in 
propositional logic: it is quite obviously restricted to theorems of the form 
|- ( ph <-> ps ), and it is also language-restricted to only use formulas in 
terms of NAND unless you add some definitions. But we would say that 
propositional logic is a conservative extension of equational boolean algebra, 
since all the theorems in the image of the translation are provable iff they 
are provable in the equational logic.

If you wanted to stick something minimal on top of this system to make it 
complete for propositional logic, I would suggest adding some definitions to 
the source language:

* !p = p | p
* p /\ q = !(p | q)
* p -> q = p | !q
* p \/ q = !p -> q
* 1 = p \/ !p

and then using the inference rule  |- ( ph <-> T. ) ==> |- ph to allow 
interpreting proofs of the form |- p = 1 as playing the role of |- p (which is 
not otherwise well formed in equational logic). You can also add the following 
definition:

* (p <-> q) = (p -> q) /\ (q -> p)

but then you will want to prove |- (p <-> q) = 1  <==>  |- p = q to ensure 
conservativity (since the translation makes <-> and = the same thing and thus 
implicitly implies that these two are equivalent).

Using "<->" was what I proposed. I cannot follow your statement. When you have 
multiple rules that can do everything that is semantically defined by Boolean 
algebra, you sure can derive everything that semantically follows. The question 
is, why you wouldn't be able to define the required rules in Metamath (and 
prove them in set.mm<http://set.mm> based on only propositional primitives).


> the axioms in Mario's formalization would not provide all properties that you

Which in set.mm<http://set.mm> is meaningless. All you need is to derive 
whichever rules are required (in Metamath such is called "Theorem" with an 
"Hypothesis"), but based on ax-1, ax-2, ax-3, ax-mp, df-bi, and df-nan (which 
includes df-an). How can this not be possible? If it is not, there must be a 
lack of expressiveness in the Metamath language, or Wolfram's "=" must do 
something that is not true for "<->". Since the propositional calculus is 
complete.

I am referring to the chapter called "Other axiomatizations related to 
classical propositional calculus", which appears before the properties about 
equality (and set theory) are introduced. To formalize Wolfram's system into 
that chapter, you have to find a way to eliminate/translate the equality 
inference rules (which I don't think it's possible).

Note that simply replacing the "=" with  "<->" will lead you to an incomplete 
system, because you have no way to derive a propositional statement where the 
"<->"  is not present. The tautology "|-  ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ 
ph ) ) ) )" is not derivable for example. However, if you keep the "=" as a 
foreign symbol from classical propositional calculus then you can derive an 
equivalent formulation as "|-   ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ph ) ) ) )  
= T." ("true" can be defined in terms of NAND).

you might say that replacing "=" with  "<->" would allow to derive "|-  ( ph 
-/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ( ph -/\ ph ) ) ) )  <-> T." anyway, but the axioms in 
Mario's formalization would not provide all properties that you need to know 
the full behaviour of the classical biconditional operator.

In Wolfram's system the biconditional can be added with a conservative 
definition "|-  ( ph <-> ps ) = ( ( ( ph -/\ ph ) -/\ ( ps -/\ ps ) ) -/\ ( ph 
-/\ ps ) )" and statements like  "|- ( ps <-> ph ) = ( ph <-> ps )" are 
derivable without issues. But what happens if I add a definition of 
biconditional when the symbol "<->" was already used in the system? Then I can 
now rewrite any biconditional into NAND operations, and eventually derive 
expressions that do not contain any biconditional. This was impossible before, 
therefore I didn't add a definition, I added an axiom, so my original axiomatic 
system was not sufficient to properly describe classical propositional calculus.

Why not? What features are used by Wolfram's rules that cannot be described in 
Metamath language? Shouldn't propositional logic alone suffice (as I mentioned 
earlier), let alone ZFC?

I could not have wished for a better answer. He does actually assume inferences

So this is the linked single NAND axiom for propositional calculus by Stephen 
Wolfram:

((p·q)·r)·(p·((p·r)·p))=r

My question is: how would this translate into Metamath?

To answer this question directly, here's a metamath axiomatization of wolfram's 
axiom system and a proof of step 1:

$c term wff |- = ( ) $.
$v p q r s ph $.
tp $f term p $.
tq $f term q $.
tr $f term r $.
ts $f term s $.
wph $f wff ph $.
weq $a wff p = q $. $( equality $)
tna $a term ( p q ) $. $( nand $)

${ symm.1 $e |- p = q $.
   symm $a |- q = p $. $}
${ trans.1 $e |- p = q $.  trans.2 $e |- q = r $.
   trans $a |- p = r $. $}
${ naeq.1 $e |- p = q $.  naeq.2 $e |- r = s $.
   naeq $a |- ( p r ) = ( q s ) $. $}

ax $a |- ( ( ( p q ) r ) ( p ( ( p r ) p ) ) ) = r $.

refl $p |- p = p $=
  ( tna ax symm trans ) AAABABZAFBBZAGAAAACZDHE $.

step1 $p |- ( p ( ( p q ) p ) ) = ( q ( ( p r ) ( ( ( p r ) ( p ( ( p q ) p ) ) 
) ( p r ) ) ) ) $=
  ( tna ax symm refl naeq trans ) AABDADDZACDZBDJDZKKJDKDDZDZBMDNJKBJEFLBMMACBE
  MGHI $.
