Proposition


The smallest logical object.

A proposition is a statement with an associated truth value. It is synonymous with the word theorem, the only difference is that in formal logic, proposition is the conventional term given to statements that undergo logical operations. A proposition made up of individual propositions joined with logical connectives is a compound proposition. Propositions are commonly symbolized by the letters \(p\), \(q\), and \(r.\)

Truth value


The truth value of a proposition indicates its relation to truth, and can be only one of two possible values: true \((1)\) or false \((0).\) If you want, the letters T and F can be used instead. Whatever floats your boat.
