Definition df-nan 1492
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ("not-and" or "nand"). See dfnan2 1494 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 1543) and the constant false (df-fal 1553), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1581), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1582), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1583), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1584). Contrast with (df-an 396), (df-or 849), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1512). (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
