Boolean-like algebra

77 Views Asked by At

Suppose one had an algebra that that follows most of the laws of Boolean algebra (associative, commutative, distributive, identity, annihilator, idempotent, double negation, De Morgan) but does not follow the complementation laws x∧¬x= 0 and x∨¬x=1 ? It wouldn't be a Boolean algebra, but how would such an algebra be classified?

Such algebras are in fact called de Morgan algebras; they are often classified as a branch of algebraic logic. For more, see this wikipedia page.

Hope this helps. Cheerio,
