- `x OR y` is true if and only if either of `x`, `y` are true. If `x`, `y` are both true, `x OR y` is still true
- `NOT x` is true if and only if `x` is false and vice versa
`NOT` of boolean statements can be refactored to apply directly to each variable. Consider the following :
- `NOT (x AND y) = NOT x OR NOT y`
- `NOT (x OR y) = NOT x AND NOT y`
