Helpers for Lemma 9.4: single steps keep the loading on the right #
The lemmas here say that a single step in a tableau, starting at a node that is loaded on the right, can only lead to a node that is loaded on the right or free, and that no rule adds formulas to an empty left component.
Local rules never load on the left: if the given sequent is not loaded on the left, then neither are the results of applying a local rule to it.
Local rules do not add formulas to an empty left component, provided the sequent is not loaded on the left.
End nodes of a local tableau for a sequent that is not loaded on the left are also not loaded on the left, and they have an empty left component if the given sequent has.
A ◃ step from a node loaded on the right to a loaded node leads to a node that is
also loaded on the right, and it does not add formulas to an empty left component.
Along a ◃-path where all nodes are loaded, the loading stays on the right and an
empty left component stays empty.
