Robinson's resolution principle

Robinson's resolution principle is a method used in automated reasoning and logic to determine if two statements, expressed in logical form, can be shown to be contradictory, proving one implies the other is false. It works by taking the logical expressions and breaking them down into simpler parts, then systematically combining them to find a direct contradiction, called a "resolution." If a contradiction is found, it proves the original statements cannot both be true. This method helps computers automatically verify the validity or inconsistency of logical statements efficiently.
