propositional logic

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Propositional logic is one of the simplest forms of formal logic. Propositional logic only allows variables (called propositions) such as is_cold and logical operators such as AND and OR. Propositional logic formulae can often be checked by simply craeting a truth table of all the possible Boolean values of the variables. It is not possible to talk about properties of variabes such is_mortal, for which you need precicate logic.
