(** Properties of decidable propositions *)

(** Note: the following definition of [decidable] can be used to
    express the notion of decidability in computability theory only in
    an axiom-free Coq (since a proof of [forall n, decidable (P n)],
    for [P] a countable class of problems, induces by extraction the
    existence of a (total) recursive algorithm [f] such that [f(n)]
    evaluates to [true] iff [P n], and since, conversely, a Coq proof
    of termination of a recursive algorithm deciding [P n] can be
    extracted in turn into a proof of [forall n, decidable (P n)]). In
    the presence of axioms such as [Classical_prop.classic], it would
    take a different meaning. *)

Definition decidable (P:Prop) := P \/ ~ P.

Theorem not_or_iff : forall A B:Prop, (A \/ B -> False) <-> (A -> False) /\ (B -> False).
