Rules of Replacement
1. Idempotence P≡(P∨P), P≡(P∧P)
2. Commutativity ( P ∨ Q ) ≡ ( Q ∨ P ), (P∧Q)≡(Q∧P)
3. Associativity, ( P ∨ Q ) ∨ R ≡ P ∨ ( Q ∨ R ), (P∧Q)∧R≡ P∧(Q∧R)
4. De Morgan’s Laws ¬ ( P ∨ Q ) ≡ ¬P ∧ ¬Q, ¬ ( P ∧ Q ) ≡ ¬P ∨ ¬Q
5. Distributivity of ∧ over ∨ P∧(Q∨R)≡(P∧Q)∨(P∧R)
6. Distributivity of ∨ over ∧ P∨(Q∧R)≡ (P∨Q)∧(P∨R)
7. Double Negation ¬ (¬ P) ≡ P
8. Material Implication ( P ⇒ Q ) ≡ (¬ P ∨ Q )
9. Material Equivalence ( P ⇔ Q ) ≡ ( P ⇒ Q ) ∧ ( Q⇒P )
10. Exportation [(P∧Q)⇒R]≡[P⇒(Q⇒R)]
11. Absurdity [ ( P ⇒ Q ) ∧ ( P ⇒ ¬ Q )] ≡ ¬ P
12. Contrapositive ( P ⇒ Q ) ≡ (¬ Q ⇒ ¬P )
13. Identities
P∨1≡1 P∧1≡ P
P∨0≡P P∧0≡ 0
P ∨ ¬P ≡ 1 P ∧ ¬P ≡ 0
¬0 ≡ 1 ¬1 ≡ 0
