Definition df-nan 1499
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1501 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 1550) and the constant false (df-fal 1560), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1588), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1589), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1590), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1591). Contrast with (df-an 397), (df-or 854), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1519). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
