#truth tables

As someone who is pretty bad at math, seeing truth tables in my philosophy book scares me

"-so, as you can see, even an object as simple as a chair is impossible to define."

As I can see, it is impossible for YOU to define an object as simple as a chair. Skill issue, put me in charge of the dictionary.

Chair: Referring to (i)an object (ii)that was designed with the intention of it serving as (iii)a seat* (iv)for an individual, that (v)has a backrest and (vi)raises the sitter from the ground.

(Explication below)

"A chair meant for decoration" Not a real chair. That's a decorative chair, a sub entity. (see ii, iii)

"What about benches that people sit alone on bcs Sherlock or whatever?" Use can stray from intent. A bench still was designed for more than one. Following, a chair does need to be actively serving as a seat to remain a chair. (see ii, iii, iv)

*Seat: A surface where a person sits.

Anything can become a seat by virtue of being sat on. A chair with a potted plant sitting on it is still a chair, but is no longer a viable seat. If the plant is removed, the chair will regain viable seat status.

An object that serves a primary or general purpose other than being a seat will generally not be referred to as a seat outside of situations where a spot that can be sat upon is relevant. e.g. A curb is generally not thought of as a seat, nor is it referred to as such in general circumstances. However, if waiting for a vehicle or watching a parade, situations where one may be looking for a seat close to the road**, they may find that the curb is in fact a seat. If something makes that specific curb unsuitable for sitting, it is not a seat. It is the use for sitting that makes an object a seat, being a seat is not inherent to any object.

A seat is not necessarily distinct from its surroundings when not being sat on. The ground may serve as a seat, although only the space required by the sitter would be treated with seat status.

**being at the very edge of a road is an example of a curb's more general purposes/attributes.

Can anyone assist.. can we rely on Truth Tables .?

From some Electronics homework (not mine)

This is my attempt to turn the pain of this awful logic class into pastel nerd aesthetic art. Did I succeed?

hey guys! So I am doing some math work and am having some trouble with sum of products for truth tables! I dont know if anyone can help me but if you can please let me know?

How much does logic structure our sentences, and what kind of logic should we use? In this week's episode, we talk about sentential logic: where it came from, how we connect things up systematically, and in what ways language looks like it moves away from pure logic.

We’re happy to be back from our break to share more semantics with you! We’ve got a lot of fun topics coming up in the weeks to come, too. Looking forward to hearing what people have to say!
