Definition df-nan 1494
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1496 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 1545) and the constant false (df-fal 1555), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1583), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1584), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1585), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1586). Contrast with (df-an 396), (df-or 849), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1514). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
