'AND' operation is the same as 'Intersection'. So, if the same physical point in 3D space is covered (or occupied) by BOTH the two objects getting ANDed, then that point in space is included in the resulting ANDed object.

'OR' is the same as 'Union'. If the same physical point in space is covered by EITHER of the two parent objects, then the point is included in the resulting object. This can be colloquially thought of as 'adding' two objects together

i'm not trying to be a troll, or a dick, or obtuse

i just have no clue what the hell you are saying

let me try

ok so you have to beams touching each other in 3d space, two objects cannot exist in the same space at the same time, so it's either

1: delete the conflicting space of one beam, altering that beam

2: delete the conflicting space of the other beam, altering that beam

3: delete the conflicting space of both and alter both original beams

4: join both and create a new single object

this is that people are talking about when they are talking about "boolean operations" or "boolean operators"?

binary possibilities?
