Chapter 9 in Automated Theorem Proving, 2001, pp 113-138 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the procedure used by THEO when attempting to find a proof. THEO passes through four phases during the process. A preliminary phase, Phase 0, attempts to simplify the given base clauses. In Phase 1, a search for a proof is carried out. This phase ends when some main line is found; that is, when THEO knows that it has a proof. If necessary, additional lines are found in the next phase, Phase 2. In Phase 3, the proof is checked for correctness and then printed.
