All,
Special Classes of Propositions (cont.)
Let's pause at this point and get a better sense of how our
special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate
to propositions in general. We can do this by recruiting our visual
imaginations and drawing up a sufficient budget of venn diagrams for
each family of propositions. The case for 3 variables is exemplary
enough for a start.
Linear Propositions —
The linear propositions ℓ : Bⁿ → B may be written as sums:

One thing to keep in mind about these sums is that the values
in B = {0, 1} are added “modulo 2”, that is, in such a way that
1 + 1 = 0.
In a universe of discourse based on three boolean variables, p, q, r,
the linear propositions take the shapes shown in Figure 8.

At the top is the venn diagram for the linear proposition of rank 3,
which may be expressed by any one of the following three forms.
• (p, (q, r))
• ((p, q), r)
• p + q + r
Next are the three linear propositions of rank 2, which may be
expressed by the following three forms, respectively.
• (p, r)
• (q, r)
• (p, q)
Next are the three linear propositions of rank 1, which are
none other than the three basic propositions, p, q, r.
At the bottom is the linear proposition of rank 0, the
everywhere false proposition or the constant 0 function,
which may be expressed by the form ( ) or by a simple 0.
