The inclusion of axioms that eliminate modal distinctions within a deductive system. In the case of relevant logics or logics of strict implication, the necessity of a formula is expressible as . Hence, demodalizing a deductive system involves imposing the equivalence of and for all formulae . For example, the addition of the demodalizer axiom scheme:
to the relevant system or the logic of strict implication yields the demodalized and the classical propositional calculus, respectively.
