## Install

```toml
[dependencies]
use-logic = "0.0.1"
```

## Foundation

`use-logic` provides a deliberately small boolean-helper surface. The crate currently exposes explicit helpers for material implication, equivalence, exclusive-or, NAND, NOR, and three-input majority logic. The API stays close to plain `bool` instead of wrapping truth values in extra types that do not add invariants.

| Helper group     | Primary items                                | Best fit                                                                               |

| Binary relations | `implication`, `equivalence`, `exclusive_or` | Truth-table oriented code that should stay readable without ad hoc boolean expressions |
| Gate helpers     | `nand`, `nor`                                | Boolean-algebra code that wants named derived operations                               |
| Majority logic   | `majority`                                   | Small vote or quorum rules over three predicates                                       |

## When to use directly

Choose `use-logic` directly when predicate and boolean-structure helpers are the only surface you need and you want to keep that concern narrower than the umbrella facade.

| Scenario                                                                             | Use `use-logic` directly? | Why                                                                       |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You only need named boolean helpers                                                  | Yes                       | The crate stays smaller than the facade and keeps boolean intent explicit |
| You want small majority or truth-table helpers without a broader predicate framework | Yes                       | The API already covers the common binary and three-input cases directly   |
| You also need geometry, combinatorics, or other math domains                         | Usually no                | `use-math` can unify the concrete surfaces behind features                |

## Scope

- The current surface is intentionally small and concrete.
- Helpers stay as `const fn` over `bool` rather than introducing wrapper types without added invariants.
- Set operations and algebraic structures belong in adjacent focused crates.

## Examples

### Binary boolean helpers

```rust
use use_logic::{equivalence, exclusive_or, implication};

assert!(implication(false, true));
assert!(!implication(true, false));
assert!(equivalence(true, true));
assert!(exclusive_or(true, false));
```

### Derived gates and majority logic

```rust
use use_logic::{majority, nand, nor};

assert!(!nand(true, true));
assert!(nor(false, false));
assert!(majority(true, true, false));
assert!(!majority(true, false, false));
```

## Status

`use-logic` is a concrete pre-1.0 crate in the `RustUse` docs surface. The API remains intentionally small while adjacent set and algebra crates continue to grow around it.
