I think the terminology "two-sided sequent calculus" should be used for the system where all the connectives are involved and all the rules are duplicated (with respect to the one-sided version) and negation is a connective.
 
 
In this way, we obtain the one-sided version from the two-sided one by:
 
* quotient the formulas by de Morgan laws and get negation only on atoms, negation is defined for compound formulas (not a connective)
 
* fold all the rules by <math>\Gamma\vdash\Delta \mapsto {}\vdash\Gamma\orth,\Delta</math>
 
* remove useless rules (negation rules become identities, almost all the rules appear twice)
 
 
A possible name for the two-sided system presented here could be "two-sided positive sequent calculus".

[edit] Equivalences

Equivalences might deserve a specific page (maybe merged with isomorphisms and equiprovability?).

We might imagine a page or some pages giving a collection of valid principles of linear logic (with appropriate proofs) and specifying which ones correspond to implications, equivalences or isomorphisms.
