Hi Cory
The brackets are like a picture frame. They tell you to resolve the function 
within the brackets before considering how it relates to terms outside the 
brackets.

(1-Y)X means everything that is not Y is opposed by X where 1-YX means the 
universe minus the postulate pair YX.

Unfortunately the English language is not precise enough replace the algebraic 
formula.

Sincerely
Pete
