Any kind of logic, function, expression, or theory based on the work of
George Boole is considered Boolean.
Related to this, "Boolean" may refer to:
*
Boolean data type, a form of data with only two possible values (usually "true" and "false")
*
Boolean algebra, a logical calculus of truth values or set membership
*
Boolean algebra (structure)
In abstract algebra, a Boolean algebra or Boolean lattice is a complemented distributive lattice. This type of algebraic structure captures essential properties of both set operations and logic operations. A Boolean algebra can be seen as a gen ...
, a set with operations resembling logical ones
*
Boolean domain, a set consisting of exactly two elements whose interpretations include ''false'' and ''true''
*
Boolean circuit, a mathematical model for digital logical circuits.
*
Boolean expression, an expression in a programming language that produces a Boolean value when evaluated
*
Boolean function, a function that determines Boolean values or operators
*
Boolean model (probability theory)
For statistics in probability theory, the Boolean-Poisson model or simply Boolean model for a random subset of the plane (or higher dimensions, analogously) is one of the simplest and most tractable models in stochastic geometry. Take a Poisson ...
, a model in stochastic geometry

Boolean network
A Boolean network consists of a discrete set of boolean variables each of which has a Boolean function (possibly different for each variable) assigned to it which takes inputs from a subset of those variables and output that determines the stat ...
, a certain network consisting of a set of Boolean variables whose state is determined by other variables in the network

Boolean processor
The Intel MCS-51 (commonly termed 8051) is a single chip microcontroller (MCU) series developed by Intel in 1980 for use in embedded systems. The architect of the Intel MCS-51 instruction set was John H. Wharton. Intel's original versions were p ...
, a 1-bit variable computing unit
*
Boolean ring, a mathematical ring for which ''x''
2 = ''x'' for every element ''x''
*
Boolean satisfiability problem, the problem of determining if there exists an interpretation that satisfies a given Boolean formula
*
Boolean prime ideal theorem, a theorem which states that ideals in a Boolean algebra can be extended to prime ideals
