Laws 1-3 can be written as
e -> y AND x -> ~e AND e -> ~x AND (~x AND y) -> e
Let's just write this out as a truth table, rather than rearrange:
x y e
-----
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 0
1 1 0
Law 4 says that for all x
, exists y
s.t. e y x = y
. The truth
table entries where this works is x = FALSE
, for all x
, so
everything's false.
This is just some symmetry of Chapter 14. Meh.
