Re: Boolean Expansions

John,

There is a lot of preliminary discussion in ''The Laws of Thought''
where Boole may have telegraphed the basic principle ahead of his
main discussion, but I think what we're looking for can be found
in Chapter V, Proposition II, "To expand or develop a function
involving any number of logical symbols", pages 73-78 in the
Dover edition.  There is even a tabular display on page 76.

Jon
