A comment on The beauty of bitwise AND. Parent comment
Generalization of ANDs and ORs is called t-norms and t-conorms (s-norms). They have to satisfy laws of monotonicity, commutativity and associativity.
So all kinds of magical ANDs and ORs spawn to meet the requirements.
I'm not really a fan of fuzzy logic but it really is a nice exercise in mathematics.
