I think so, but there is a great uncertainty involved :-). What I meant was the ring <{0,1},+.*,0,1> or if I use my notation from above <Z2,+.*,0,1> where we define the binary operations:

x ^ y = x*y
x v y = x*y + x + y

Z/2Z is the factor group Z modulo 2? If my assumptions so far are correct, then yes I meant Z/2Z. Sorry for any confusion I might have caused.
