The even and odd integers are both absent from the cofinite filter, but their union is present. Thus its filter quantifier need not turn a disjunction into the disjunction of quantified assertions, and failure of a quantified assertion need not imply truth of its quantified negation. An ultrafilter restores both laws by deciding each set against its complement.
