Definition df-nan 1519
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1521 for an alternative. This is also called the Sheffer stroke, represented by a vertical bar, but we use a different symbol to avoid ambiguity with other uses of the vertical bar. In the second edition of Principia Mathematica (1927), Russell and Whitehead used the Sheffer stroke and suggested it as a replacement for the "or" and "not" operations of the first edition. However, in practice, "or" and "not" are more widely used. After we define the constant true (df-tru 1570) and the constant false (df-fal 1580), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1608), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1609), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1610), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1611). Contrast with (df-an 401), (df-or 861), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1539). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
