What is disjunction?

Disjunction is when you have two or more choices, and at least one of them happens.

Imagine you're at a toy store, and your mom says: You can take either a teddy bear or a robot, but not both. That’s a disjunction because you get either the teddy bear or the robot. It doesn’t matter which one you pick; as long as one of them is true, it works.

Think of disjunction like turning on lights in your room. You have two switches, one for the ceiling light and one for the nightlight. If either switch is turned on, the room is lit up. It doesn’t matter if both are on or just one, as long as at least one is working, you can see.

So disjunction isn't about having to pick only one thing. It’s more like saying: At least one of these things has happened. Whether it's a toy, a light, or anything else, the idea stays the same!
