Zeroth-order Logic - Relation To General First-order Logic

Relation To General First-order Logic

At first glance it might appear that by using axiom schemata as in the example any first-order logic can be made zeroth-order. However, in general only universal quantifiers at the outermost level can be eliminated this way.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, general and/or logic:

“You see, I am alive, I am alive
I stand in good relation to the earth
I stand in good relation to the gods
I stand in good relation to all that is beautiful
I stand in good relation to the daughter of Tsen-tainte
You see, I am alive, I am alive”
—N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)

“Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Never alone
Did the King sigh, but with a general groan.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Though living is a dreadful thing
And a dreadful thing is it
Life the niggard will not thank,
She will not teach who will not sing,
And what serves, on the final bank,
Our logic and our wit?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
