Your example:
[(p-->q) + (q --> p)] <--> [~(p-->q) v (~q --> p]).~[q <--> p]
Dot means "and."
The above can be reduced to nand form, demonstrating that any syllogism can be translated to modus ponens form.
The original post had the leftmost "or" as "v" (inclusive or) rather than "+" (exclusive or).
For clarity, not as a correction, the leftmost equivalence symbol replaces a previous implication symbol.
Some Ryle essay footnotes appear on this site, which is devoted to life after physics.
There is no claim of expertise with respect to the musings on this page. Never use my stuff for homework!
