We could extend bool with shades of grey that close the 2-bit, signed set over
the complement: {-2, -1, 0, 1}. For example, the bitwise complement of False
could be RealNews (-1, 0x11) and the bitwise complement of True could be
FakeNews (-2, 0x10). The bool() value some of built-in objects could be
declared as RealNews or FakeNews by decree of the steering committee. For other
projects this would have to be subject to opinion, which will probably lead to
endless internal debates and flame wars.
In a boolean context, FakeNews would be falsey and RealNews would be truthy.
For bitwise operations, we have the following:
~False -> RealNews
~True -> FakeNews
False & FakeNews -> False
False & RealNews -> False
True & FakeNews -> False
True & RealNews -> True
RealNews & FakeNews -> FakeNews
False | FakeNews -> FakeNews
False | RealNews -> RealNews
True | FakeNews -> RealNews
True | RealNews -> RealNews
RealNews | FakeNews -> RealNews
False ^ FakeNews -> FakeNews
False ^ RealNews -> RealNews
True ^ FakeNews -> RealNews
True ^ RealNews -> FakeNews
RealNews ^ FakeNews -> True
