: Designed to mirror "natural" human reasoning by using rules for introducing and eliminating logical constants.
: By focusing on the structural manipulation of rules, it allows for the development of Interactive Proof Assistants that help verify complex mathematical theorems and software. The Development of Proof Theory
: A more abstract system that facilitates metamathematical analysis. It is the primary tool for proving the field's most important theorems, such as consistency and decidability. 2. Core Concepts
