Definition df-nan 1487
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1489 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 1542) and the constant false (df-fal 1552), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1580), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1581), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1582), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1583). Contrast with (df-an 397), (df-or 845), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1507). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
