Re:Universal Logic Gates (2015) by noajshu on Sunday June 16, 2019 @08:58PM (#20198965)
The monotone, linear, etc. functions are called clones and the clones form a lattice called Post's Lattice

Given several logic gates, if their most recent common ancestor in the lattice is the clone of all boolean functions, then that set is universal. This provides a convenient prescription for deciding universality for a new k-input gate.
