Methods#

Method nodes are introduced by the keyword applying, which is the sole keyword in the how category. It is used after the conclusion has been deduced, as in:

A implies B. From C get D, hence E by B, applying M.

Notice that the applying clause simply interposes the method node between the conclusion and its supporting reasons. Thus, if we were to omit it we would get:

A implies B. From C get D, hence E by B.
