For posterity ... to complete the proof (since it's neater).
In order to prove the RDFS_{xsd:boolean}-unsatisfiability of the following:
rdf:Property rdfs:subClassOf xsd:boolean . #AZ
we wish to show that it RDFS_{xsd:boolean}-entails:
xsd:boolean rdf:type xsd:boolean . # goal
Which will be inconsistent, per the previous mail (see above).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We note that the following hold:
"true"^^xsd:boolean rdf:type xsd:boolean . #1
xsd:boolean a rdfs:Class #2
xsd:boolean rdfs:subClassOf xsd:boolean . #3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Given #AZ, we know that there can exist at most two properties in IP.
Hence, by the pigeonhole principle, at least two of the following terms
must refer to the same property.
rdf:type
rdfs:subClassOf
rdfs:subPropertyOf
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 1: rdf:type and rdfs:subClassOf refer to the same property
xsd:boolean rdf:type xsd:boolean . #goal [Case 1, #3]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 2: rdf:type and rdfs:subPropertyOf refer to the same property
"true"^^xsd:boolean rdfs:subPropertyOf xsd:boolean . #4
xsd:boolean rdf:type rdf:Property . #5 [#4, range of sPO]
xsd:boolean rdf:type xsd:boolean . #6 [#5, #AZ, rdfs9]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Case 3: rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf refer to the same property
xsd:boolean rdfs:subPropertyOf xsd:boolean . #7 [Case 3, #3]
xsd:boolean rdf:type rdf:Property . #8 [#7, range of sPO]
xsd:boolean rdf:type xsd:boolean . #9 [#8, #AZ, rdfs9]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
