[edit] what's that upmost expression supposed to mean?

a <or> b = a+b - ab ?!?

Please put it into words, esp. why it is on the top of the page.

[edit] Defining Disjunction With Arithmetic

Isn't it idiotic to define logical functors using arithmetic? This presupposes the definitions of arithmetic operations, not to mention a number system and seems wholly inappropriate in the context of logic.

[edit] Unknown User

Yes, I think Disjunctive should be mergered with Logical disjunction

[edit] OR gate symbol is not in accordance with MIL-STD-806b

The output side is too pointy and straight sided - other wikipedia articles show a different form for the gate symbol and should probably be used so as to be consistant. ChardingLLNL 22:54, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, there is not a discussion/symbol/circuit for wired-OR operation. While logically not much different from a traditional OR gate it can support tri-state or powered off operations and thus operates beyond a simple boolean model.

The article logic gate is more appropriate for discussion of variants, since this article is about the abstract logical concept. The diagram should still be consistent though. Dcoetzee 16:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] a disambiguation?

maybe there should be a disambiguation so as to offer a redirect to Søren Kierkegaard's book? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.130.34.235 (talk) 20:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Proposed project

I have been working on all of the logical operators recently. I would like to see a consistent format for them. There is a wikiproject proposal for this at: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Logical_Operators. Also see Talk:Logical connective.

I would like to see the logical, grammatical, mathematical, and computer science applications of all of the operators on the single page for each of those concepts.
