I think that if one is going to play three-valued Zendo, the right thing to do would be to go all the way to Post's three-valued logic, in which True, False, And, Or, and Not were replaced by three values, and (IIRC--it has been over thirty years since I studied this) three conjunctions and maybe two operators (i.e., three things analgous to And and Or, and two things analogous to NOT).
Again, it has been a long while, but I think I know where I put the book ...
