Each such function originates a class of graphs. Denoting the variables by ${\bf 1}$ and ${\bf 2}$, the functions ${\bf 1}\Rightarrow{\bf 2}$, ${\bf 1}$, and ${\bf 1}\wedge{\bf 2}$ originate the classes of chordal, interval, and indifference graphs, respectively. In this paper we study the classes corresponding to all other boolean functions, as well as general properties of these classes. A satisfactory identification of the class corresponding to function ${\bf 1}\oplus{\bf 2}$ (exclusive or) is still open. } }
