</div>Maybe someone could spare a sec and teach me some English and free me from<br>
puzzling. Are the above/quoted sentence semantically equivalent with<br>
"Hopefully at all times at least one of these should be up..."? (At least<br>
in math \forall and \exist are not commutative (i don't know the correct<br>
linguistic term for this) - that's why i wonder.)<br>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yeah. Logically (skipping the "hopeful" bit) it parses to something like;<br><br><br>
For all moments (the number of mirrors that is up is a integer larger then zero)<br><br>Which equates to what you said;<br><br>For all moments( There is a mirror( that is up ))<br><br><br>I don't have the proper logical signs on my keyboard, which is probably a good thing :¬) (pun intended).<br>
