Theorem nic-dfneg 1595
Description: Define negation in terms of 'nand'. Analogous to  ( ( ph  -/\  ph )  <->  -.  ph ). In a pure (standalone) treatment of Nicod's axiom, this theorem would be changed to a definition ($a statement). (Contributed by NM, 11-Dec-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
