Extract

It is well known that the familiar Sheffer stroke function of the 2-valued propositional calculus is functionally complete (i.e., for any m, all 22m truth functions of m variables can be defined1 in terms of the stroke function). Indeed, it is not difficult to show that of the 16 2-valued functions of two variables, exactly two of them are functionally complete.
