How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T10197992 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
Target entity: Gentzen-style proof systems Context triple: [Gerhard Gentzen, knownFor, Gentzen-style proof systems]
-
A.
Gentzen’s consistency proof for arithmetic
Gentzen’s consistency proof for arithmetic is a landmark 1930s result in proof theory that established the consistency of Peano arithmetic using transfinite induction up to the ordinal ε₀.
-
B.
Hilbert-style deductive systems
Hilbert-style deductive systems are axiomatic proof systems in mathematical logic that use a small set of axiom schemas and a few inference rules (typically including modus ponens) to derive theorems in formal theories such as Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory.
-
C.
Proof Methods for Modal and Intuitionistic Logics
"Proof Methods for Modal and Intuitionistic Logics" is a foundational textbook by logician Melvin Fitting that systematically develops semantic and proof-theoretic techniques for reasoning in modal and intuitionistic logic systems.
-
D.
Recherches sur la théorie de la démonstration
Recherches sur la théorie de la démonstration is Jacques Herbrand’s foundational work in mathematical logic, introducing key results in proof theory and what is now known as Herbrand’s theorem.
-
E.
"The Complexity of Theorem-Proving Procedures"
"The Complexity of Theorem-Proving Procedures" is Stephen Cook’s landmark 1971 paper that introduced the concept of NP-completeness and proved the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) to be NP-complete, laying the foundation for modern computational complexity theory.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Subject: Gentzen-style proof systems Description of subject: Gentzen-style proof systems are formal logical calculi, such as natural deduction and sequent calculi, that rigorously structure proofs using inference rules to clarify the foundations of mathematics and logic.
