Definition df-nan 1440
Description: Define incompatibility, or alternative denial ('not-and' or 'nand'). 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 1478) and the constant false (df-fal 1481), we will be able to prove these truth table values: ((⊤ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊥) (trunantru 1515), ((⊤ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (trunanfal 1516), ((⊥ ⊼ ⊤) ↔ ⊤) (falnantru 1517), and ((⊥ ⊼ ⊥) ↔ ⊤) (falnanfal 1518). Contrast with (df-an 385), (df-or 384), (wi 4), and (df-xor 1457) . (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 19-Nov-2007.)
