Boolean Rings are an Algebra with two binary operations which satisfy the following axioms:
Axioms
| # | Name | FOL |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Closure under addition | |
| 2. | Associativity under addition | |
| 3. | Commutativity under addition | |
| 4. | Identity element under addition | |
| 5. | Closure under product | |
| 6. | Associativity under product | |
| 7. | Identity element for product | |
| 8. | Idempotence of product | |
| 9. | distributive property of product over addition |
You will note that the thing which distinguishes a boolean ring from others is idempotence of the product.
