Sole sufficient operator

&#9758; This page belongs to resource collections on Logic and Inquiry.

A sole sufficient operator is an operator that is sufficient by itself to generate every operator in a specified class of operators. In the context of logic, it is a logical operator that suffices to generate every boolean-valued function, $$f : X \to \mathbb{B},\!$$ where $$X\!$$ is an arbitrary set and where $$\mathbb{B}\!$$ is a generic two-element set, typically $$\mathbb{B} = \{ 0, 1 \} = \{ \mathrm{false}, \mathrm{true} \},\!$$ in particular, to generate every finitary boolean function, $$f : \mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}.\!$$
