The two halves of disjunctive correctness

Abstract: Ali Enayat had asked whether two halves of Disjunctive Correctness (DC) for the compositional truth predicate are conservative over Peano Arithmetic. In this article, we show that the principle "every true disjunction has a true disjunct" is equivalent to bounded induction for the compositional truth predicate and thus it is not conservative. On the other hand, the converse implication "any disjunction with a true disjunct is true" can be conservatively added to PA. The methods introduced here allow us to give a direct nonconservativeness proof for DC.
