"Not" of An "Or"

"NOT" APPLIED TO AN "OR" SENTENCE Let P and Q be sentences which are true or false, but neither of them is both. "Not(P or Q)" means the same thing as "(not(P)) and (not(Q))". "Not" Applied To An "Or" Sentence P Q P or Q not(P or Q) not(P) not(Q) (not(P)) and (not(Q)) T T T F F F F T F T F F T F F T T F T F F F F F T T T T

Some people understand this principle as follows. They know that "P or Q" is false only when both P and Q are false. P being false makes "not(P)" true; Q being false makes "not(Q)" true. So, both "not(P)" and "not(Q)" are true. This is what is meant by "(not(P)) and (not(Q))".

The truth table to the right is a different approach to the same principle. Note that columns 4 and 7 have the same truth values.
