### Instruction: Here's a precise numerical problem for a math student to solve related to intuitionistic logic:

Suppose we have two propositions A and B with the following properties:

- Either A or B is true (but we don't know which one).
- If B is true, then A is also true.
- If A is false, then B is also false.

If we apply intuitionistic logic to these propositions, what can we conclude? Please explain your answer.### Response: In intuitionistic logic, we can't make conclusions based on the law of excluded middle (i.e., we can't assume that either A is true or A is false). Instead, we need to rely on the given information and the rules of intuitionistic logic.

Given the information:

1. Either A or B is true (but we don't know which one).
2. If B is true, then A is also true.
3. If A is false, then B is also false.

Let's analyze the possibilities:

Case 1: A is true
- From (1), we know that either A or B is true. If A is true, then we have satisfied this condition.
- From (2), if B is true, then A is also true. Since A is true in this case, this condition is satisfied.
- From (3), if A is false, then B is also false. Since A is true in this case, this condition doesn't apply.

Case 2: B is true
- From (1), we know that either A or B is true. If B is true, then we have satisfied this condition.
- From (2), if B is true, then A is also true. Since B is true in this case, A must also be true.
- From (3), if A is false, then B is also false. Since A is true in this case (from the analysis in this case), this condition doesn't apply.

In both cases, we find that A must be true. Therefore, we can conclude that A is true in intuitionistic logic. However, we cannot make any definitive conclusions about B, as it could be either true or false.
