Double Complementation
Complement
Identity
Dominance
Idempotency
Absorption
Redundancy
DeMorgan's Laws
Associativity
Commutativity
Distributivity

Equivalences for implication are omitted above for brevity and for tradition. They can be derived, using the definition a b a b .

For example, using Identity and Commutativity, we have b b b b b .
