P and -,P have opposite truth values.
Tautologies A tautology is true for all possible assignments of truth values to its components. A tautology is also called a universally valid formula and a logical truth. A statement formula which is false for all possible assignments of truth values to its components is called a contradiction. 9

Two fonnulas A and A * are duals of each other if either one is obtained from the other by replacing A by v and vice versa.
A generalisation of De Morgan's laws: -,A (PI ' P 2' ... , P n) A*( -'pI '-,P2' ... , -,p n ). Here Pi are the atomic variables in the duals A and A *.
