Not sure but it's simple.

boolean - a binary variable, having two possible values called “true” and “false.”

Not quite sure what you mean by "Boolean is the logic understanding of java script".

I feel that you might be overthinking about Boolean too much.

Conditions are used to evaluate to do one condition over another.

Boolean logic, I think comes from mathematics. Your going to hate me for this. I copied this definition from google. 

 Boolean logic is a system that allows a searcher to 
communicate to a database specific relationships between 
keywords (or concepts) when searching. 
The most commonly used Boolean commands 
(sometimes called logical operators) 
are AND, OR, and NOT.Jan 15, 2016.

I don't even know what that means

:point_right: Yes. :wink:

"Boolean is a system of algebraic notation used to represent logical propositions."
