Extract

By language we understand a lower predicate calculus with identity and (perhaps) relation and function symbols. It is convenient to allow for more than one sort of variable. Now each individual constant (if there are any) is of a specified sort, the formal expressions R(t1, … tn), f(t1,…, tn) are well formed only if the terms t1, …, tn are of specified sorts determined by the relation symbol R and the function symbol f, and the term f(t1, …, tn) (if well formed) is of a sort determined by f. We admit s = t as well formed, no matter what the sorts of s and t.
