Abstract: Although there exists a normal form for boolean algebra terms, the so called set of prime implicants, there does not exist a convergent term rewriting system for the theory of boolean algebra. The result seems well-known, but no formal proof exists as yet. In this paper a formal proof of this fact is given.
