To save the unwashed masses (myself included) any further internet searches, this relates to the Boolean satisfiability problem, which according to Wikipiedia [0] is:

"the problem of determining if there exists an interpretation that satisfies a given Boolean formula. In other words, it asks whether the variables of a given Boolean formula can be consistently replaced by the values TRUE or FALSE in such a way that the formula evaluates to TRUE. If this is the case, the formula is called satisfiable."

I originally thought it was an AI to solve college placement tests, which would also have been cool but in a different way.
