The Propositional Calculus
Formalizing logic. Truth tables and derivation rules.
Here we begin to build the 'Typographical Number Theory' (TNT). We start with Propositional Calculus, the logic of 'AND', 'OR', 'NOT', and 'IF...THEN'. It's a system for combining simple truths into complex ones. By formalizing reasoning into strict rules of symbol manipulation, we take the first step toward mechanizing thought itself.
