Anyway, I was looking at the logical connective section and noticed it sort of glossed over how two or more connectives together work. Now in general a truth table or x arguments is 2^(2^x), right? Repeated connectives give you 16^(x-1). Now these happen to coincide for x=2 and 3, after which I think the general truth table becomes increasingly larger. My question is, for x=3, can the connectives give you the full trutch table?
