<h3>ACL2-PC::DEMOTE</h3>(primitive)
<code>   </code>move top-level hypotheses to the conclusion
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS.html">PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS</a>
</pre><p>


<pre>
Examples:
demote        -- demote all top-level hypotheses
(demote 3 5)  -- demote hypotheses 3 and 5
</pre>

For example, if the top-level hypotheses are <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> and the
conclusion is <code>z</code>, then after execution of <code>demote</code>, the conclusion will
be <code>(implies (and x y) z)</code> and there will be no (top-level)
hypotheses.
<p>

<pre>
General Form:
(demote &amp;rest hyps-indices)
</pre>

Eliminate the indicated (top-level) hypotheses, but replace the
conclusion <code>conc</code> with <code>(implies hyps conc)</code> where <code>hyps</code> is the
conjunction of the hypotheses that were eliminated.  If no arguments
are supplied, then all hypotheses are demoted, i.e. <code>demote</code> is the
same as <code>(demote 1 2 ... n)</code> where <code>n</code> is the number of top-level
hypotheses.<p>

<strong>Note</strong>:  You must be at the top of the conclusion in order to use
this command.  Otherwise, first invoke <code>top</code>.  Also, <code>demote</code> fails if
there are no top-level hypotheses or if indices are supplied that
are out of range.
