Truth Function - Table of Binary Truth Functions

Table of Binary Truth Functions

There are sixteen Boolean functions associating the inputs P and Q with four-digit binary outputs. Any of these functions is identified as a truth table of a certain logical connective in classical logic, including several degenerate cases such as a function not depending on one or both of its arguments.

Famous quotes containing the words table, truth and/or functions:

    “When I think of our lands I think of the house
    And the table that holds a platter of pears,
    Vermilion smeared over green, arranged for show.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Some counterfeits reproduce so very well the truth that it would be a flaw of judgment not to be deceived by them.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
