-# Algorithmic Truth Table Method (ATTM)
+# Algorithmic Truth Table Method for Proving Validity of Argument Forms 🧮
 
-[ ... _**still under construction**_ ...]  
+Welcome to the "syllogisms" repository, where we delve into the fascinating world of logic and reasoning using an algorithmic truth table method. This method allows us to rigorously prove the validity of various argument forms, particularly focusing on categorical syllogisms in Aristotelian logic. Let's explore this repository further and uncover the intricacies of classical logic and predicate logic in a clear and straightforward manner.
 
-Files related to the use of an Algorithmic Truth Table Method (ATTM) for proving the validity/invalidity of certain argument forms (singly-quantified and monadic).  In particular, the ATTM can be used for evaluating the validity of each of the 256 possible forms of a categorical syllogism (CS).
+## Repository Overview 📚
 
-The method was previously presented in the following scientific meetings:
+**Repository Name:** syllogisms

+## Understanding the Repository 🤔
 
-## Useful Wikipedia articles
-* [List of valid argument forms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valid_argument_forms)
-* [Syllogism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism)
+In this repository, we focus on the application of Boolean logic principles and the analysis of categorical syllogisms using a structured truth table method. By employing logical operators and truth values, we can systematically evaluate the validity of complex argument forms. The emphasis lies on clarity and precision, enabling users to navigate through the intricate world of logic with confidence.
 
-## Color coding 
-In the PDF file [256-tables.pdf](./256-tables.pdf), the table labels indicating the CS form, e.g., `Form: I-AAI`, for the first table, have been highlighted to indicate whether the form is valid/invalid (Aristotelian logic), or unconditionally/conditionally valid or invalid (Boolean logic). The color coding is as follows:
+### Key Features 🌟
+- Comprehensive truth table generation for various argument forms
+- Predicate logic analysis for in-depth reasoning
+- Boolean logic manipulation techniques
+- Algorithmic approach for efficient validity proofs
+- Integration of classical logic principles
 
-* <span style="background-color:#B8860B; fontcolor:black">dark goldenrod</span> -  indicates a valid CS in Aristotelian (with either a **loose** or an **express** definition of a CS) and an unconditionally valid CS in Boolean logic (there are **15** such truth tables)
-* <span style="background-color:#DAA520; fontcolor:black">goldenrod</span> -  indicates a valid CS in Aristotelian logic and a conditionally valid CS in Boolean logic (there are **4** such truth tables)
-* <span style="background-color:silver; fontcolor:black">silver</span> -  indicates a valid CS in Aristotelian logic with a **loose** definition of a CS, an invalid CS in Aristotelian logic with an **express** definition of a CS, and a conditionally valid CS in Boolean logic (there are **5** such truth tables).  The conclusion for each of these five CS is a weakened version of the conclusion of the corresponding CS in the first list of 15 CS.
-* <span style="background-color:white; fontcolor:black">white</span> - invalid CS
