We use it a lot in computer chip design to reduce things.
Scroll to the bottom if you want to see a mathematicians view of how KittyCats genetics works .. all the possible forms are down there.
I used a (rather huge) Karnaugh map to develop the inference rules for allowing e-mail servers to detect and shut down spammers based on the traffic patterns, rather than the content of the messages. A colleague uses them on-the-fly to detect and eliminate e-mail spam based upon words appearing in the content. We used to do them by hand, but computers make them a LOT easier to work with.
I warned you!
Thank you!!!!!
I know it'll take me some time to understand even a little bit but at least I already know what the sigma does!

Reading random auction/bidboard comments I came across this one.... And it reminded me of this thread. And I was wondering how others feel about the use of
"would" here.
My pedigree reading: if I'm shown Dad's pedigree and I see him showing or hiding twinkle, I accept the claim that the baby is hiding twinkle. Now from this pedigree, I can only really say the same thing as is said about mysterious eye shape (as grandma's pedigree on one side was provided) but not so sure as to how the other traits are presented. And I mean "presented", not saying they can't be indeed there. I see no indication of any other fur or eye having passed, and the same with ears and tail.
*Disclaimer* I come from discourse analysis world. That's why I prefer percentages and odds in pedigree comments. "would" is vague to me, deliberately or not. But I'm interested in learning how others interpret this.

**Comment: This kitten is hiding TWINKLE shade, There is also mysterious eye shape far back in pedigree. Hidden fur would be American Shorthair Blue & White Tabby. Hidden eye would be Gerbera Purple. Hidden ear and tail would be mysterious. (Others of this line show those traits.)
