'boolean' here means that 3!:0 returns 1; the values are restricted to
{0,1}. Details at

Note also that in this case I'm not sure if "boolean" really means
"non-negative integer". (If I understand properly: in George Boole's
arithmetic these were equivalent, and some of the details here suggest that
that original meaning might be relevant here. It's a confusing topic though
because it has become popular, depending on context, to assert that
"boolean" can only refer to the values 0 and 1 and also that "boolean"
cannot be used to refer to the values 0 and 1.)
Thanks,
