Propositional Forms on Two Variables —
Tables A1 and A2 showed two ways of organizing the sixteen boolean functions
or propositional forms on two variables, as expressed in several notations.
In future discussions the two Tables will be described as the “Index Order”
and the “Orbit Order” of propositions, respectively, “orbits” being the usual
term in mathematics for similarity classes under a group action. For ease of
comparison, here are fresh copies of both Tables on the same page.

Recalling the discussion up to this point, we took as our first example the
boolean function f₈(p, q) = pq corresponding to the logical conjunction p∧q
and examined how the differential operators E and D act on f₈. Each operator
takes the boolean function of two variables f₈(p, q) and gives back a boolean
function of four variables, Ef₈(p, q, dp, dq) and Df₈(p, q, dp, dq), respectively.
In the next several posts we'll extend our scope to the full set of
boolean functions on two variables and examine how the differential
operators E and D act on that set. There being some advantage to
singling out the enlargement or shift operator E in its own right,
we'll begin by computing Ef for each function f in the above Tables.
