Definition
Let $\Bbb B = \set {\T, \F}$ be a boolean domain.
A singular conjunction in the set of propositions of type $\Bbb B^k \to \Bbb B$ is a conjunction of $k$ literals that includes just one conjunct of each complementary pair:
- $\set {x_j, \neg x_j}$
for each $j: 1 \le j \le k$.
This article, or a section of it, needs explaining. In particular: The above is a little obscure and needs to be clarified. You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by explaining it.

This page has been identified as a candidate for refactoring of basic complexity. In particular: Put the below into its own page Until this has been finished, please leave {{Refactor}} in the code.
New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only. Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.To discuss this page in more detail, feel free to use the talk page. When this work has been completed, you may remove this instance of {{Refactor}} from the code. |
A singular proposition $s : \mathbb B^k \to \mathbb B$ can be expressed as a singular conjunction:
- $s = e_1 \land e_2 \land \ldots \land e_{k - 1} \land e_k$
where:
- $\forall j \in \closedint 1 k: e_j \in \set {x_j, \neg x_j}$
