|
||
|
||

### Associativity
|
||
|
||
Given propositions $E1$, $E2$, and $E3$,
|
||
|
||
* $E1 \textbf{ cand } (E2 \textbf{ cand } E3) = (E1 \textbf{ cand } E2) \textbf{ cand } E3$
|
||
* $E1 \textbf{ cor } (E2 \textbf{ cor } E3) = (E1 \textbf{ cor } E2) \textbf{ cor } E3$

Given propositions $E1$, $E2$, and $E3$,
