Towards a pseudoequational proof theory

A new scheme for proving pseudoidentities from a given set Σ of
pseudoidentities, which is clearly sound, is also shown to be complete
in many instances, such as when Σ defines a locally finite variety, a
pseudovariety of groups or, more generally, of completely simple
semigroups. Many further examples when the scheme is complete are
given when Σ defines a pseudovariety V which is σ-reducible for the
equation x = y, provided Σ is enough to prove a basis of identities
for the variety of σ-algebras generated by V. This gives ample
evidence in support of the conjecture that the proof scheme is
complete in general.
