I want to make sure I am understanding this correctly
Rosen says Q unless negate p = if p then q

The Attempt at a Solution
Q unless negate P is saying, if P, then Q, but if not P, then possibly/possibly not Q
does this make sense? Honestly this doesn't seem to formal to me but I can see how it would make sense..
I don't understand what "we have" means in this context.PeroK said:They are both saying the same thing. q unless negate p means that we have q unless we have don't have p. In other words, if p then q.
Neither statement says what we have if we have negate p. We may have q or we may not.
Try writing out a truth table with all four options.
PeroK said:"We have p" means p is true.
Yes!r0bHadz said:Ah I gotcha. So would you say what I wrote in my original post is correct then?
The statement "Q unless negate p = if p then q" is a logical statement, where Q and P are two related conditions. It means that if P is true, then Q will also be true, unless P is negated or false.
One example of this statement is "I will go for a walk unless it rains. If it rains, then I will stay at home." Here, Q is going for a walk and P is raining. If it rains (P is true), then I will stay at home (Q is false), unless I decide to go for a walk regardless of the rain (negate P).
The main difference between the two statements is the inclusion of "unless negate p" in the first statement. This adds a conditional aspect to the statement, where Q is not always true even if P is true, as P can be negated.
The logical operator used in this statement is "unless negate", which can also be written as "unless not". This operator is used to express a conditional relationship between two statements, where the second statement is only true if the first statement is true, unless the first statement is negated.
This statement can be applied in scientific research by using it as a hypothesis or a prediction. It can help to establish a relationship between two variables and test the accuracy of their correlation. Additionally, it can be used to make conclusions and predictions based on experimental results.
