A formal system consists of four main parts: a set of symbols, a set of axioms, rules for forming valid expressions (formation rules), and rules of inference for deriving conclusions. Together, they allow theorems to be proved systematically.
Conditions: Applies to a logical framework intended to produce proven theorems.; Requires explicit symbols, axioms, formation rules, and inference rules.

Modus Ponens is a rule of inference stating that if A implies B (A→B) and A is true, then B must also be true. It allows moving from a conditional statement and its affirmed antecedent to the consequent.
Conditions: Requires a conditional statement of the form A→B.; Requires A to be true.; Conclusion is B.
