| − | * remove useless rules (negation rules become identities, almost all the rules appear twice) |

[edit] Equivalences
Equivalences might deserve a specific page (maybe merged with isomorphisms and equiprovability?).
We might imagine a page or some pages giving a collection of valid principles of linear logic (with appropriate proofs) and specifying which ones correspond to implications, equivalences or isomorphisms.
