let A be QC-alphabet ; for p being Element of QC-WFF A st p is conjunctive holds
( len (@ (the_left_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) & len (@ (the_right_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) )
let p be Element of QC-WFF A; ( p is conjunctive implies ( len (@ (the_left_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) & len (@ (the_right_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) ) )
assume A1:
p is conjunctive
; ( len (@ (the_left_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) & len (@ (the_right_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) )
then consider l, q being Element of QC-WFF A such that
A2:
p = l '&' q
;
p = <*[2,0]*> ^ ((@ l) ^ (@ q))
by A2, FINSEQ_1:32;
then A3: len (@ p) =
(len <*[2,0]*>) + (len ((@ l) ^ (@ q)))

.=
(len ((@ l) ^ (@ q))) + 1
by FINSEQ_1:40
;
A4:
(len (@ q)) + (len (@ l)) = len ((@ l) ^ (@ q))
by FINSEQ_1:22;
then
len (@ q) <= len ((@ l) ^ (@ q))
by NAT_1:11;
then A5:
len (@ q) < len (@ p)
by A3, NAT_1:13;
len (@ l) <= len ((@ l) ^ (@ q))
by A4, NAT_1:11;
then
len (@ l) < len (@ p)

hence
( len (@ (the_left_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) & len (@ (the_right_argument_of p)) < len (@ p) )
