Abstract

We examine ‘weak-distributivity’ as a rewriting rule defined on multiplicative proofstructures (so, in particular, on multiplicative proof-nets: MLL). This rewriting does not preserve the type of proof-nets, but does nevertheless preserve their correctness. The specific contribution of this paper, is to give a direct proof of completeness for : starting from a set of simple generators (proof-nets which are a n-ary ⊗ of Ց-ized axioms), any mono-conclusion MLL proof-net can be reached by rewriting (up to ⊗ and Ց associativity and commutativity).
