\begin{frame}[t] \frametitle{Proof of the Critical Pair Lemma} \begin{block}{Critical Pair Lemma} \smallskip A TRS is locally confluent (WCR) \quad$\iff$\quad all critical pairs are convergent. \end{block} \pause \begin{proof}[Proof of the Direction $\Rightarrow$] Let $\atrs$ be WCR. \pause\medskip Assume that there exists a non-convergent critical pair $s \cp t$. \pause\medskip Then $s \from \cdot \to t$, and not $s \join t$. \pause This would contradict WCR. \end{proof} \end{frame}
