Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov interpretation

The Brouwer-Heyting-Kolmogorov (BHK) interpretation provides a way to understand logical statements as constructions or proofs. It says that to prove "A" is true, you must have a concrete method or construction showing "A" holds. For example, "A and B" is true if you can construct a proof for both "A" and "B." "A or B" is true if you can produce a proof for either one. This interpretation links logic directly to the process of building evidence or proofs, making the meaning of logical statements depend on our ability to explicitly demonstrate their truth.
