If we interpret $1$ as being "true" and $0$ as being "false", and $a,b \in \{0, 1\}$ (i.e., $a$ and $b$ are logical propositions) then it's easy to see that
$a \lor b = \max\{0, 1\}$ and $a \land b = \min\{0, 1\}$
Is this purely a mathematical coincidence, or is there some deep reason this is true?
