Theorem wl-df-3xor 37837

Description: Alternative definition of whad 1600 based on hadifp 1612. See df-had 1601 to learn how it is currently introduced. The only use case so far is being a binary addition primitive for df-sad 16418. If inputs are viewed as binary digits (true is 1, false is 0), the result is what a binary single-bit addition with carry-in yields in the low bit of their sum.

The core meaning is to check whether an odd number of three inputs are true. The ⊻ operation tests this for two inputs. So, if the first input is true, the two remaining inputs need to amount to an even (or: not an odd) number, else to an odd number.

The idea of an odd number of inputs being true carries over to other than 3 inputs by recursion: In an informal notation we depend the case with n+1 inputs, 𝜑 being the additional one, recursively on that of n inputs: "(n+1)-xor" ↔ if-(𝜑, ¬ "n-xor" , "n-xor" ). The base case is "0-xor" being ⊥, because zero inputs never contain an odd number among them. Then we find, after simplifying, in our informal notation:

"2-xor" (𝜑, 𝜓) ↔ (𝜑 ⊻ 𝜓) (see wl-2xor 37852).

Our definition here follows exactly the above pattern.

In microprocessor technology an addition limited to a range (a one-bit range in our case) is called a "wrap-around operation". The name "had", as in df-had 1601, by contrast, is somehow suggestive of a "half adder" instead. Such a circuit, for one, takes two inputs only, no carry-in, and then yields two outputs - both sum and carry. That's why we use "3xor" instead of "had" here.
