Many thanks, Harold, that's an excellent resource.

After posting this message, memory came back to me of studying Truth Tables, around 1982, when I was bored out of my mind in the first year of a doctoral program in social science.

Another issue that interests me is a question of heuristic ordering of logical comparisons in order to optimize computation ... given you have a compiler, like C#, that suspends evaluation "smartly."

So, the question of "who's on first ?" is very interesting, in that context: I use the term "heuristic" since I think that the information a programmer has is, often, which one, or a few, tests are known to be very frequent, and which other tests are estimated to be less frequent.

For very complex sets of logical conditions, given frequency information on each possible condition's occurrence, it's interesting to consider what might be involved in producing code that's optimal: and what happens if, over time, those probabilities fluctuate in regular "clusters" (modes). So that, in State #1 you want one chunk of code, and in other States #n you want other chunks.

Do I make sense ? Wait, no, please ... forget I asked that Smile | :)
“But I don't want to go among mad people,” Alice remarked.

“Oh, you can't help that,” said the Cat: “we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.”

“How do you know I'm mad?” said Alice.

“You must be," said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.” Lewis Carroll
