摘要

The uniform word problem for finitely presented ortholattices is shown to be solvable through a method of terminating proof search. The axioms of ortholattices are all Harrop formulas, and thus can be expressed in natural deduction style as single succedent rules. A system of natural deduction style rules for orthologic is given as an extension of the system for lattices presented by Negri and von Plato. By considering formal derivations of atomic formulas from a finite number of given atomic formulas, it is shown that proof search is bounded, and thus that the question of derivability of any atomic formula from any finite set of given atomic formulas is decidable.
