AI Thread Summary
The equation for a circle is confirmed to be correct, with a focus on the properties of disjunction in logic. The discussion highlights that disjunction is idempotent, meaning $x \lor x \iff x$. There is a suggestion to utilize $\LaTeX$ for clearer mathematical representation. Additionally, a note is made about an image being cropped on the right, which may affect clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of proper formatting in mathematical discussions.

the equation in circle is right ??

Your image seems to be cropped on the right.

For something like this, it would be better to use $\LaTeX$. All of the symbols you need are in the "Set Theory/Logic" section of our "Quick $\LaTeX$" element:

[table="width: 200, class: grid"]
[tr]

[td]Output[/td]

[tr]
[td]\lor[/td]
[td]$$\lor$$[/td]

[tr]
[td]\And[/td]
[td]$$\And$$[/td]

Yes. Disjunction is idempotent: $x\lor x\iff x$.
 
I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
