From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Material nonimplication is the negation of implication. That is to say that for any two propositions P and Q, if P does not imply Q, then P is the material nonimplication of Q.
It may be written using logical notation as:
-
- p⊅q
- p↛q

falsehood-preserving: The interpretation under which all variables are assigned a truth value of 'false' produces a truth value of 'false' as a result of material nonimplication.
