live assumptions
Live assumption: assumption that is not
blocked off.
The number of stars should be the same as
the number of live assumptions.
When you have multiple live assumptions and
find a contradiction, you should:
Block off the section beginning from the last live
assumption to the occurrence of contradiction.
Derive the negation of that assumption
Erase star strings with more stars than the number
of remaining live assumptions.

2 important points
1. Step RAA (i.e. RAA before the colon) the RAA rule (i.e.
block off an assumption and infer its negation after a
contradiction occurs)
2. Step RAA in the partial method is incompatible with Step
RAA in the complete method
Given (2), step 3 in the complete method should be given a
different name (e.g. extended RAA) or Step RAA in both
methods should be defined in the way it is defined on p171.
