2.3.2 Logical Connectives

These formulae determine the usual logical connectives on the sub-formulae. Conjunction and disjunction apply to lists of two or more formulae; they both have weaker precedence than negation. When mixed, they have to be explicitly grouped, using parentheses `(...)'.

Both implication (which may be written in two different ways) and equivalence have weaker precedence than conjunction and disjunction. When the `forward' version of implication is iterated, it is implicitly grouped to the right; the `backward' version is grouped to the left. When these constructs are mixed, they have to be explicitly grouped.
