Definition df-nan 1481
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). 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 1536) and the constant false (df-fal 1546), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1574), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1575), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1576), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1577). Contrast with (df-an 399), (df-or 844), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1501). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
