For implication creation rule, keep available and discharge an otherwise unused antecedent:
1  ψ                         given
2  | φ                       assume
3  | ψ                       available from 1
4  φ → ψ                     →-intro, discharge 2–3
For implication distribution rule, write . The logical derivation below keeps available and discharges exactly the two temporary assumptions:
1  φ → (ψ → ρ)                          given
2  | φ → ψ                              assume
3  | | φ                                assume
4  | | ψ                                →-elim, 3 and 2
5  | | ψ → ρ                            →-elim, 3 and 1
6  | | ρ                                →-elim, 4 and 5
7  | φ → ρ                              →-intro, discharge 3–6
8  (φ → ψ) → (φ → ρ)                    →-intro, discharge 2–7
These justify both derived inference rules using Figure 2 primitives. Their rule forms retain any other surrounding assumptions; they are not unconditionally asserted conclusions after the displayed numerator is forgotten.
