    Summary: We take a fresh look at the geometrization of logic using the recently developed tools of ``quantum Riemannian geometry'' applied in the digital case over the field \(\mathbb{F}^2 = \{0, 1\}\), extending de Morgan duality to this context of differential forms and connections. The 1-forms correspond to graphs and the exterior derivative of a subset amounts to the arrows that cross between the set and its complement. The line graph \(0-1-2\) has a non-flat but Ricci flat quantum Riemannian geometry. The previously known four quantum geometries on the triangle graph, of which one is curved, are revisited in terms of left-invariant differentials, as are the quantum geometries on the dual Hopf algebra, the group algebra of \(\mathbb{Z}_3\). For the square, we find a moduli of four quantum Riemannian geometries, all flat, while for an \(n\)-gon with \(n > 4\) we find a unique one, again flat. We also propose an extension of de Morgan duality to general algebras and differentials over \(\mathbb{F}_2\).
