  15. Reminder: Equivalences • Two FOL sentences P and Q mean the same thing (are logicallyequivalent, written P  Q) iff they have the same truth value in all situations. If two sentences are logically equivalent, you can substitute one for the other. • Identity Laws: P ^ T  P; P v F  P • Domination Laws: P v T  T; P ^ F  F • Idempotent Laws: P v P  P; P ^ P  P • Double Negation: ~~P  P • Commutative Laws: P v Q  Q v P; P ^ Q  Q ^ P • Associative Laws: (P v Q) v R P v (Q v R) (P ^ Q) ^ R  P ^ (Q ^ R) • Distributive Laws: P v (Q ^ R)  (P v Q) ^ (P v R) P ^ (Q v R)  (P ^ Q) v (P ^ R) • DeMorgan’s Laws: ~(P ^ Q)  ~P v ~Q ~(P v Q)  ~P ^ ~Q
