Definition df-nan 1512
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1514 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 1563) and the constant false (df-fal 1573), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1601), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1602), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1603), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1604). Contrast with (df-an 400), (df-or 859), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1532). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
