On the Subject of Worse Venn Diagrams
Bigger Venn diagrams? Check. Weirder symbols? Check. Uncertainty?.. Maybe.
- A standard Boolean Venn Diagram consists of three intersecting circles, each representing distinct triples of truth values with A at the top, B to the left, and C to the right, as well as an outer circle denoting falsehood of all three.
However here, each circle has a larger concentric circle around it, denoting an Unknown value. - The diagram below shows the triplets of truth values each area represents.
- The screen displays an expression combining various binary and unary logical operators in one of three colours.
- Select all areas that represent truth values that, when input into the expression, return the value corresponding to its colour where:
Green corresponds to True, Red corresponds to False, and Blue corresponds to Unknown. - The Venn diagrams below use the above colour scheme to show the outputs of the operators that can appear on the screen.
