Bertrand

Bertrand solves sets of first-order predicate logic statements for satisfiability (consistency), validity, and equivalence. It also checks single statements for "logical truth" (tautology) and "logical falsity" (self-contradiction). Subject-identity is supported. User can "step through" the solution algorithm as Bertrand solves a problem, and/or check the graphic tree produced.
