Philip Meguire, 22.10.05: I have rewritten this at some length. To understand my interest on this topic, see the references to [[Laws of Form]].

== Full stop as a notation for ∧ ==
I suppose that somebody used [[full stop|<span style="background-color:#FFCCCC; color:#000000; padding:2px; font-weight: 900">.</span>]] just because of inability to input the middle dot '''[[·]]''' (TeX: <math>\cdot</math>) character, which is used sometimes as a multiplication sign. May I replace full stops with middle dots? [[User:Incnis Mrsi|Incnis Mrsi]] ([[User talk:Incnis Mrsi|talk]]) 18:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:I agree. We already have lots of different notations for AND and OR. We don't need additional diversity in how multiplicative notation is displayed. [[User:Hans Adler|Hans]] [[User talk:Hans Adler|Adler]] 19:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
::Wikipedia generally strives for uniformity in notation between articles. Either the many other articles on Boolean algebra should switch to the + . notation, or this one should switch to the ∧ ∨ notation. I would be in favor of the latter. --[[User:Vaughan Pratt|Vaughan Pratt]] ([[User talk:Vaughan Pratt|talk]]) 18:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
== concatenation, OR, "one binary operation" ==
*From the 4 numbered properties listed using concatenation and complementation, it appears that "concatenation" in this context is the OR operation. Is this correct?
*From what I understand, 2 element Boolean algebra can be represented with a single binary operation (either NAND or NOR) without complementation. If this is correct, I'd like to reword "We only need one binary operation..." since it is introducing a notation that uses one binary operation plus complementation, rather than only a binary operation.
