Additional notes
- Consider the following partition:
1) A! (all x are y, and there is at least one x)
2) I $\wedge$ O (some x are y and some x are not y)
3) E! (no x are y, and there is at least one x)
4) there are no x
With the bitstrings based on this partition, the formulas of this diagram (in vernacular notation) can be represented as follows:
1000 = all x are y
0100 = some x are y and some x are y'
0010 = all x are y'
0001 = there are no x
1100 = some x are y
1010 = all x are y or all [x] are y'
1001 = no x are y'
0110 = some x are y'
0101 = not all x are y nor are all y' [not all x are y and not all x are y']
0011 = no x are y
1110 = some x exist
1101 = not all x are y'
1011 = no x are y or none [i.e. no x] are y'
0111 = not all x are y
