Monadic Boolean algebra

In abstract algebra, a monadic Boolean algebra is an algebraic structure A with signature ⟨·, +, ', 0, 1, ∃⟩ of type ⟨2,2,1,0,0,1⟩, where ⟨A, ·, +, ', 0, 1⟩ is a Boolean algebra. The monadic/unary operator ∃ denotes the existential quantifier, which satisfies the identities (using the received prefix notation for ∃): * ∃0 = 0 * ∃x ≥ x * ∃(x + y) = ∃x + ∃y * ∃x∃y = ∃(x∃y). ∃x is the existential closure of x. Dual to ∃ is the unary operator ∀, the universal quantifier, defined as ∀x := (∃x' )'. A monadic Boolean algebra has a dual definition and notation that take ∀ as primitive and ∃ as defined, so that ∃x := (∀x ' )' . (Compare this with the definition of the dual Boolean algebra.) Hence, with this notation, an algebra A has signature ⟨·, +, ', 0, 1, ∀⟩, with ⟨A, ·, +, ', 0, 1⟩ a Boolean algebra, as before. Moreover, ∀ satisfies the following dualized version of the above identities: 1. * ∀1 = 1 2. * ∀x ≤ x 3. * ∀(xy) = ∀x∀y 4. * ∀x + ∀y = ∀(x + ∀y). ∀x is the universal closure of x. (Wikipedia).

Boolean Algebra: Sample Problems

In this video, I work through some sample problems relating to Boolean algebra. Specific, I work through examples of translating equivalences from logical or set notation to Boolean notation, and also a derivation using Boolean equivalences.

Boolean Algebra 1 – The Laws of Boolean Algebra

This computer science video is about the laws of Boolean algebra. It briefly considers why these laws are needed, that is to simplify complex Boolean expressions, and then demonstrates how the laws can be derived by examining simple logic circuits and their truth tables. It also shows ho

Replacing truth tables and Boolean equivalences | MathFoundations274 | N J Wildberger

While Propositional Logic is a branch of philosophy, concerned with systematizing reasoning using connectives such as AND, OR, NOT, IMPLIES and EQUIVALENT, the Algebra of Boole provides a mathematical framework for modelling some of this. With this approach we ignore the issue of the mean

The Algebra of Boole is not Boolean algebra! (III) | Math Foundations 257 | N J Wildberger

We continue discussing George Boole's original algebra which can be framed as arithmetic over the bifield B_2={0,1} and vector spaces/algebra over it. We have seen how to reformulate Aristotle's syllogistic construction in terms of Boole's algebra, and use simple algebra to prove his syllo

Why Algebraic Data Types Are Important

Strong static typing detects a lot of bugs at compile time, so why would anyone prefer to program in JavaScript or Python? The main reason is that type systems can be extremely complex, often with byzantine typing rules (C++ comes to mind). This makes generic programming a truly dark art.

Monadic Parsers at the Input Boundary

When reading a byte stream over the process I/O boundary, the first thing which everyone should do is to parse the byte stream with a monadic parser. The talk will discuss Processes and input byte streams. Monadic parsers. What they are and why they matter. The design and use of the pure

The Algebra of Boole is not Boolean Algebra! (I) | Math Foundations 255 | N J Wildberger

We begin to introduce the Algebra of Boole, starting with the bifield of two elements, namely {0,1}, and using that to build the algebra of n-tuples, which is a linear space over the bifield with an additional multiplicative structure. This important abstract development played a key role

Semistructured data is an umbrella term encompassing data models which are not logically organized in tables (i.e., the relational data model) but rather in hierarchical structures using markers such as tags to separate semantic elements and data fields in a ‘self-describing’ way. In this

FP is often glibly described as "programming with functions", but we can equivalently say that FP is about programming with values. Functions are values, failures are values, effects are values, and indeed programs themselves can be treated as values. This talk explores some consequences o
