What ceases to be possible is proving that a false claim is true. Within the premise that "elephants are dead mice" it can be proved that {elephants are dead mice} the non-truth of that expression is preserved. Let {T} be such a theory. Then the elementary statements which belong to {T} we shall call the elementary theorems of {T}; we also say that these elementary statements are true for {T}. Thus, given {T}, an elementary theorem is an elementary statement which is true. https://www.liarparadox.org/Haskell_Curry_45.pdf Haskell Curry is referring to a set of expressions that are stipulated to be true in T. We define True(L, x) to mean x is a necessary consequence of the Haskell Curry elementary theorems of L.
