FOREWORD BY

TREVOR J. MCMINN

Here in a formal inferential system is ensconced an axiomatic logic and set theory. With rudiments and simple versatile prescriptions, ground is prepared for shaping a wide selection of formal inferential languages. Then upon this ground is fashioned a particular formal inferential language that is lean, mechanical, vigorous, and more than adequate for the purposes a t hand. At the same time, within the language, on axiomatic foundations broadly and deeply laid, logic and set theory are deductively built in strikingly unified combination. The axioms are amenable to replacement of schematic expressions by almost any formula, guarantee a non-elemental universe, enable the set of x such that ...x . . . to be defined, and ensure the elementhood of many sets. The set-theoretic structure is substantial, with numerous interesting topics, including the most essential ones, taken up and dealt with in efficient dependent order. The initial treatment of each is thoroughgoing, and, on occasion, new results are introduced.2 Altogether these topics provide a firm base and house a variety of useful tools for farreaching mathematical theories. The system is described in spare and trenchant English which reflects the author’s endeavor each time to hit the nail on the head and drive it home with one stroke. Together with a scattering of similarly phrased informal interpretive asides, suggestive headings, and stage directions, the formal language then takes over the task of elucidating mathematical ideas. A title given to a section, subsection, rule, definition, or theorem hints a t subjects entertained, roles played, historical origins, or mathematical emphasis. Generally speaking a n entitled section embraces only one topic and lists a t the beginning each definition first used in the section. With many results identified as numbered theorems, the reader is led with measured pace through the book. No single step is hard to take, few proofs are long, and all are perspicuous. 1 2

The Table of Contents fairly summarizes the topical sweep. Some, but by no means all, of these results are touched upon in the author’s preface.

Foreword

Vlll

This high degree of organiFation makes reference easy for one familiar with the formal language apd imparts to the text a skeletal appearance somewhat belying the full-bodied mathematical treatment. The book is the result of successive refinements of lectures given by the author over the years at the University of California at Berkeley. In the process the system has evolved from one of little formality and traditional separation of logic and set theory to the present one of complete formality and unified logic and set theory. The axioms for set theory have undergone a metamorphosis from ones like those appearing in the Appendix to J. L. Kelley’s General Topology to the present more primitive ones. I n recent years the formal language has been actively used by the author and students in course work in set theory and analysis and the axiom system has been tested with experience. Readers at various levels of mathematical education may well profit from this elegantly handled aed bold-spirited enterprise. A scholar who already largely understands the author’s objectives is still apt to discover much that is original and ingenious in his way of attaining thetn. A student perplexed by fundamental questions stands a good chance of finding them answered. One less interested in the foundations of set theory than in its superstructure should be amply rewarded for effort spent in learning necessary preliminaries by the impetus given to his understanding of the subsequent beautiful edifice. Because of a paucity of instructional elaboration of the book’s linguistic-logical-mathematical subtleties, the less expert reader is provided in ensuing paragraphs of this foreword with some expansive, semitechnical, and advisory comments. These may help him to see better both the forest and the trees. They have been devised to give him an inkling of what the author is up to in Chapter 0, the first part of Chapter 2, and in the Appendix, to highlight some special virtues and characteristics, and to suggest points of view and ways of approach. Chapter 1 needs little comment, and the problems in understanding the latter part of Chapter 2 are almost purely mathematical. The more technical of these comments will probably be of most help when read concurrently with a study of relevant sections of the book itself. This commentary is followed by a brief description of the axiomatic structure of some of the other set theories which have originated since the turn of the century together with comparative remarks to place the present system among them.

I n that initial part of Chapter 0 which ends with the section on Indicia1 and Accepted Variables, the author's concern is to set forth construction rules for a written language capable of conveying mathematical meaning. The language itself consists of inscriptions called expressions which are linear arrays of certain more or less connected inscriptions called symbols. Expressions in the language are of various sorts (for example, the definor, the punctuator, schemators, definitions, axioms, constants, variables, definienda, forms, formulas, primitive constants, primitive forms, schematic forms, schematic expressions, simple expressions, etc.) . Certain rudimentary expressions (for example, 'u' - a schemator, 'u'xx" a schematic form, ' =' the definor, a primitive constant, ' (x = y) ' a primitive form, ' (0 = A x x ) ' a definition, ' (x tt (0 E X ) ) ' a n axiom, etc.) are specifically listed and, together with certain of their parts, are somewhat arbitrarily identified as being of one sort or another. Two very simple methods of combining expressions (replacement and schematic replacement) for the purpose of constructing further expressions are mentioned and illustrated. Prescriptions (in the form of agreements and rules) are laid down for telling us of what sort the rudimentary and constructed expressions are. Some are statements of relation between certain expressions (for example, Rule 0.2: A variable is free in a form if and only if it occurs therein less than twice). Others (for example, Rule 0.4) are descriptions of a test applied to a pair of expressions to see if one bears a certain relation (in this case freeness) to the other. Still others (for example, Rule 0.3: A is a formula if and only if some variable is free in A ) tell whether a n expression is of a certain sort in terms of its relations to other expressions. We want to know what is in the language and in its various components and what relations certain members bear to others. The specific identifications, constructive replacements, and prescriptions are our sole means of finding out. Quite mechanically, one step at a time, through prescribed replacements, new expressions in the language are constructed from those that have already been constructed or from the rudimentary ones. As these new expressions arise, they are cataloged and their relations to some of the others are noted. The expressions we are mainly interested in are constants, variables, forms, and formulas. I n order to simplify the formalization no attempt has been made to prove facts about expressions in the language. When it has seemed

X

Foreword

necessary or fruitful to use such facts, they have merely been assumed as numbered rules (for example, Rules 0.13-0.16). A rule is thus thought of in Chapter 0 as being meta-axiomatic. Although the relations of freeness, indiciality, and acceptedness between certain expressions are categorically described by the agreements and rules, they are not explicitly defined. Thus, although a method is here prescribed for demonstrating freeness or lack of it in any given case by considering expressions bearing certain relations to others, freeness is not prescribed in the explicit form ‘ Q is free in A if and only if...’. I n the later section on Chains such prescriptions are made explicit. The author’s second concern in Chapter 0, set forth in the section on Rules of Inference, is to establish the process of mathematical inference. Among all formulas are singled out for special attention those called theorems. At the outset all listed definitions and axioms are theorems. Starting from these, through certain prescribed changes embodied in the rules of inference, other theorems are constructed in somewhat the same mechanically iterative manner in which formulas are constructed from the rudimentary expressions. Here again tests are prescribed for telling us whether a given formula is a theorem. However, this is not to say that a test may be easily made. Hardly so. I t amounts to exhibiting a n ordered list of theorems, each of which results from some of its predecessors by the application of a rule of inference, terminating with the formula in question. Such a list is a formal proof. Together with definitions dispersed throughout, the whole of formal mathematical literature consists of just such an ordered list headed by the axioms. I n this section on Rules of Inference the notion of theorem, like freeness, is not explicitly defined. Unlike freeness, it is not categorically described. Thus no prescription is given here for determining that a given formula is not a theorem. However, in the section on Demonstrations the notion of theorem is made explicit. It is to be hoped, quite naturally, on the basis of the axioms adopted in Chapters 1 and 2 that not all formulas are theorems, that is, that the resulting system is consistent. I n the foregoing nutshell description of the author’s formal system none of its nicer features is really evident. Some of these deserve special mention.

Foreword

The strictly linear structure of expressions that has been adhered to throughout facilitates their technical analysis and enables them to be read serially from left to right as a machine might well be made to do. A high degree of simplicity has been achieved in the statement of rules and agreements for constructing the language by holding down the number of sorts of expressions treated. Here no distinction is made between sentential variables and nominational variables, much less between set variables and point (element) variables. Also no distinction is made between statement-like expressions and name-like expressions (elsewhere these are commonly known as formulas and terms, respectively). Together these are here simply formulas. Thus among the formulas are ‘ (0 E X ) ’, ‘ ( X E 1) ’, ‘ ( X -+ X ) ’, ‘ ((0 = V X E 1 X ) A AX(X-+ x ) ) ’,

‘Vx(0 E x ) ’,

‘{x}’,

‘ ( x , x ) ’, ‘ Ex(0 E X ) ’, ‘ A x ; (0 E X )

x’.

Except at the very first, each new form is introduced as a definiendum (the left side of a definition). Yet regardless of whether or not the definition is properly constructed, once the constants appearing in the form are known (see page 4), the grammar of the form, that is, a tally ofwhich variables are free and which are indicial, is easily determined by simply counting occurrences of each variable. The use of schematic expressions enables many definition schemas, axiom schemas, and theorem schemas to be rendered as a single formula in the system and thus amenable to treatment as such. Once the legitimacy of a substitution or a schematic substitution has been established the substitution or schematic substitution itself is carried out by a straightforward replacement or schematic replacement which does not distinguish occurrences. The requirement that schematic expressions not only have the same schemator but be entirely the same to qualify for schematic replacement considerably simplifies the mechanics of schematic substitution. Allowing mixed expressions in which there appear variables neither free nor bound (see A. 18) provides a great deal of freedom in substitution. For example, in 2.35 is found the theorem ‘(x~Exux+-+_ux~x~U)’

(1)

in which ‘ x ’ is neither free nor bound. From it one easily obtains as theorems ‘ ( x E Ey uy e,ux A x E U)’ (2)

Foreword

and

‘(X

E

E?J UY - t)VZJ(X=ZJA UZJ) A x E u) ’.

(3)

An interesting aspect of (1) shared by neither (2) nor (3) is that a theorem is obtained from ‘ ( x E ExP-

P Ax

E

U)’

by replacing ‘ x ’ by an arbitrary variable and ‘ P by an arbitrary formula. Worthy of note is the all-embracing scope of the author’s preparatory setting. I t is a novelty that his formal inferential system is not specially tailored to his logic and set theory. Without changing this system in any way, one could, by introducing appropriate mathematical definitions, equally well formally pursue radically different mathematical disciplines with quite different primitive concepts. With the language at hand we, of course, interpret it by attaching meaning to the expressions in it. This is essentially an intellectual process for which no prescription can be given. Only the use of words appearing in definitions common also in every day usage suggests the proper attachment of intuitive mental concepts which one already possesses. An interesting feature of the author’s development is that only a scant few basic concepts are appealed to. Once the appropriate conceptual meaning has been attached to ‘ = ’ (“definitionally equivalent to”), ‘+’ (“implies”), ‘A’ (“for each”), an adequate start has been made for logic; and once the appropriate conceptual meaning has been attached to ‘ E ’ (“ is in ”) , and ‘ me1 ’ (“ choice ”) , an adequate start has been made for set theory. We are specially interested in those formulas devoid of schemators in which every variable actually appearing is bound (see A. 18). It is with these latter, known as sentences or names, that we associate, on the one hand, mathematical ideas or propositions, and, on the other hand, specific concrete mathematical things in another, ideal (mental) world, the mathematical world which, of course, no one should confuse with the world of inscriptions. Thus the formula ‘ (0 E 1) ’ is a sentence expressing a mathematical idea, namely, that the empty set belongs to the set whose only member is the empty set, and 0 is a name for a mathematical thing, the empty set. Other formulas, like ‘ ( x E y) ’ and ‘ { x } ’, with free variables actually appearing in them, although neither sentences nor names are akin to them in that they can be made into sentences or names by replacement, for instance, by replacing ‘ x ’ by ‘0’

and ‘y’ by ‘ 1 ’ in the aforementioned to get ‘ (0 E 1 ) ’ and ‘{O}’, or by quantifying, for instance, by writing ‘AxVy(x E y) ’

or

‘Ax{x}’

Each is capable, by being transformed in certain ways into sentences or names, of conveying many specific and concrete meanings, all of a more or less similar nature. The significance of theorems lies in their interpretation. A theorem, in addition to any idea it may convey as a formula, inspires in us, at least provisionally, belief that the idea conveyed is right. Theorems need not be sentences. For example, the formula ‘ ( x = x) ’ is a theorem. We believe every specific idea conveyed as the result of replacing ‘ x ’ in this theorem by a name as well as by universally quantifying it. I t is a peculiarity of the author’s system as axiomatized in Chapter 2 that frequently in one breath a mathematical idea is expressed and a set is named. Each set is either true or false and each sentence is a name for some set. I t turns out that 1 is true, that (1 , 2 ) is false, that (0 E 1) is the mathematical universe, and that (0 E 0) is the empty set. I t also turns out, rather less surprisingly, that 1 is the set whose only member is the empty set, that ( 1 , 2) is an ordered pair of natural numbers, that (0 E 1) is true, and that (0 E 0) is false. I n trying to swallow this unified notion of logic and set theory one may find at first that it sticks in his craw. A purist might argue that it is contrary to good principles of nomenclature to have a formula express an idea and name an object at the same time. I n support of unification one may take the view that the idea expressed and the object named are always so different that practical confusion will not crop up over the ambiguity as to which of the two is intended. The damage to one’s preconceptions turns out to be not as great as one might at first think, and in most instances it is pretty clear whether a given formula is to be thought of as statement-like or as name-like. I t turns out that if and only if

V x E 3((0 E X )

A UX) -

for some x in 3, 0 is in x and ux;

it also turns out that

V x E 3((0 E X )

-

A UX)

xiv

Foreword

equals ux. the union as x runs over 3 of the intersection of (0 E x ) with Of the two interpretations of ‘ V x ~ 3 ( ( E0 X ) A ( x # 1 ) ) ’ thus suggested, the first is probably intended and we know what idea (incidentally right) is conveyed. Of the two interpretations of

‘VXE~((~EX)AX)’

likewise suggested, the second is probably intended and it can be checked that ( 2 = Vx E 3((0 E X ) A x ) ) . To take another instance, in Chapter 1 we are mainly interested in knowing that 0 is false, whereas in Chapter 2 we are mainly interested in the fact that 0 is the empty set. In any event, whatever the interpretation that is made, it has no bearing on the consistency of the system considered as a game played according to rules with expressions. Aside from the sheer elegance of this unified structure, attested to in part by the features mentioned in the author’s preface, numerous technical benefits result, among which is the possibility of exploring areas of logic and set theory simultaneously. An example may help to indicate this possibility. Since (p + q ) is equal to (-p v q ) , we can say that the set (p -+ q) is the complement ofp, union q, and, by way of an axiom (2.5.0), that ( p + q ) is true if and only if 0 belongs to the complement of p or to q. Since (-6 v p) is the universe, and 0 belongs to the universe, we see that (p + p ) is true. To give a glimmering of other technical advantages of unification we note that in the theorem

‘((0 E x )

= Ey(0 E x ) ) ’

the left side is more concise than the right. The author’s third concern in Chapter 0 is to formulate a practical theory of notation that will simplify formulas and leave them uniquely readable without sacrificing mathematical consistency. This is a noteworthy effort that goes beyond the mere listing of shorthand devices and rules of thumb. The language retains its machine-like precision, is eminently usable, and incorporates many of the usages of traditional mathematics. Furthermore, this effort goes beyond the adopting of

xv

Foreword

conventions for a language germane only to elementary set theory. Having in mind a language with wider applicability in later branches of mathematics, the author has adopted several conventions that harmonize simplifications in this unexploited language with the herein developed language of elementary set theory. Due to the use of constants other than introductors in forms, like ‘ + ’ in ‘ ( x + y) I , a great variety of new forms can be introduced from a fixed collection of constants by varying the arrangement of them with variables and schematic expressions in a matrix. An example of this economy is given in the combinatorial sum definition

‘( ( A++ B) = E x

+ y ( x E A A y E B ) )’.

Other abbreviational nuances that are both interesting and useful can be gleaned from the theorems

‘ .( ,y , 2 E A

‘ ( x ,y , t ,EA f-f

( x ,y

.(

, t) , E A

,y , 2) E A ) ’, x E A ~y E A A

t)

z E A ) ’.

The theory of notation systematically exploits some of these possibilities. The author’s fourth concern in Chapter 0, treated in the section on Demonstrations, is to devise a framework for analyzing formal proofs. I n this setting the notion of a theorem is explicitly defined in terms of the notion of a formula. Certain expressions are called demonstrations. A demonstration, roughly speaking, is the ordered concatenation of the theorems listed in a formal proof. Certain formulas in a demonstration are identified as subformulas. A trifle more precisely, a demonstration is built up iteratively starting from definitions or axioms by juxtaposing on the right a formula obtained from subformulas of what is already at hand by inference from these subformulas. A theorem then is a subformula of some demonstration. The author’s fifth and last concern in Chapter 0, treated in the section on Chains, is to explicitly define indiciality, acceptedness, freeness, and parentheticality. One way of doing this would involve intuitive set theory somewhat in the spirit of A.29-A.38. The way adopted by the author uses concatenations of certain expressions each initiated by a symbol, the punctuator, counted among the constants but never allowed to appear in a form, and each a beginning expression or an expression obtained by certain replacement operations from preceding such expressions in the array. Such arrays are called chains. Chains are thus

xvi

Foreword

built up iteratively by juxtaposition on the right somewhat as demonstrations are. The expressions juxtaposed minus the punctuator are called links. Four kinds of chains are considered. I n the case of a free chain each link is the concatenation of a variable with a form in which the variable is free or with an expression, obtained by replacement operations from preceding links, in which the variable is free. I n furtherance of a correct notational theory, the author has included an appendix on definitions. Since from definitions we learn what are constants, variables, and forms, and since definitions are theorems, one can easily arrive at contradictions both metamathematical and mathematical by accepting improperly constructed ones. I n the Appendix rules governing the correct formulation of definitions are so made that: parentheses are constants; ‘ x ’ is a variable; the end of a definition is determined by an internal routine; each definition is a formula; the notion of a formula is categorical; no formula, which is meaningful, but not a theorem prior to the addition of a definition, becomes a theorem after the addition of the definition; every formula has a primitive translation. Also circularity is avoided since the theorem

‘(OE

(Oh

I))’,

which does not violate the last two above requirements, is, quite rightly, not allowed to be a definition. At this point some words ofreassurance should perhaps tie extended to the reader impatient with precise linguistic foundations and anxious to come to grips with the mathematical content of Chapter 2 . Once he has got the hang of constructing a few formulas not dependent upon the theory of notation, he will avoid, and with good reason, the laborious task of intricately checking to see if a given expression is a formula. H e will probably be able to see intuitively a t a glance if it is one and from which forms it was obtained and how. With the exception of certain orienting definitions like 0.0.0, 0.0.1, and 2.0 there are no tricks that would lead him to think, contrary to his upbringing, that expressions like ‘ ( x E’, ‘ ( + x +)’> ‘/lux’ are formulas. Expressions that have been simplified by taking advantage of the theory of notation may give somewhat more trouble, but since efforts have been made to make them seem at first blush reasonable, even they

xvii

Foreword

can mostly be deciphered intuitively with only a n occasional reference to the theory. For instance, it seems reasonable that useful meaning should be ascribed to the expressions ‘ V x ;_ uxvx’, _

‘Ax E Y ux’, -

‘sng x ’ ,

‘ ( x =y

A a

E b c c)’

and that they be included among the forms. The first and last of these can probably be guessed a t here, and there is perhaps a fifty-fifty chance that the others can be too. In reading a formula, from left to right, advantage should be taken of the fact that no formula is an initial segment of another in order to pick off one by one the formulas which have been inserted into a form. If the candidacy of a form, for such insertions, is not clear at the start it will soon become so. I t may well comfort the reader to know that if he can contrive one valid reading of a formula, then that reading is correct. A case in point is the form

‘(P -+q

-+r)’,

which, because of 0.37 and in keeping with the spirit of ordinary implicational proofs, means the same as and not the same as I t might be noticed that

‘((P+ 4 )

A

(P - 6 ) ’

‘((P

‘(P

4 +r)’

‘ ( x +Y) ’

by replacing ‘ x ’ by p + q and ‘y’ by ‘ r ’ , as well as by replacing ‘ x ’ by p and ‘y’ by ‘ q + r ’ . However as it turns out, neither of these readings is valid since neither ‘p --f q nor ‘ q 3 r ’ , lacking parentheses, is a formula. I n this connection

‘(P

-+

4

+ 9 ’ > ‘((P+d

-+r)’,

‘(P

+

(4 - + r ) ) ’

are different from each other both in appearance and meaning. At any rate, a thorough grasp of the Theory of Notation is far from essential for comprehending Chapters 1 and 2.

xviii

Foreword

In the same vein, though some of the rules of inference may look complicated, a moment’s reflection should convince the reader that they cannot all be utterly simple when stated precisely. He need examine but one application to be assured that they only accurately prescribe in general what he would almost certainly be inclined by mathematical second nature to allow in any instance. Thus by indicial substitution (0.28) we infer that since ‘ (Ax ux - t)Ax gx) ’ is a theorem, then ‘ (Ay uy t,A x gx) ’ is a theorem. This is seen by letting

9 be

‘2’’

Q be ‘ ( z t,Ax UX) - ’, T be ‘ (Ax ux H Ax yx) ’, A be ‘Ax ux’, a be ‘ x ’ , B be ‘Ay uy - ’,

T’ be ‘ (Ay uy e,Ax gx) ’, and by checking that

9 is free in Q,

A is a form, a is indicial in A ,

‘y’ is accepted in A . Having once checked in detail the validity of an application of a rule of inference, the reader will not likely do it often again. And there is 1 1 0 reason why he should. In actual mathematical literature formal proofs are rarely exhibited. Ordinary proofs are considered as commentaries designed to convince one of the possibility of constructing formal ones. This treatise on set theory is no exception. However, a certain formality is retained here in that, although many gaps are permitted in the shortening of a formal proof to a n ordinary one, an effort has been made, up through 2.37, to make each entry formally correct and a theorem. Thereafter in

XiX

Foreword

establishing implications a somewhat relaxed, but thoroughly sound method is frequently employed. Sentences structurally incorporating formulas along with ordinary English words and phrases are punctuated in the customary way. Formulas not so incorporated stand without further punctuation. Many readers will find it expedient to plunge directly into Chapters 1 and 2, grasping by context and preconceptions the gist of what is being said, and resorting to Chapter 0 only when necessary to pick up indispensable basic notions and notation^.^ All readers are strongly urged to explore Chapters 1 and 2 before attempting to completely master Chapter 0. The informal passages give succinctly the necessary clues, while the formal passages encapsule much mathematical content in small compass. Because of this the reader is well advised to read slowly and carefully and, whether he scans or delves, to take for granted that the author’s words have been weighed, his formulas accurately cast, and that he means exactly what he says.

Set theories are largely characterized by the provisions that are made for constructing sets from properties and for relating membership in a set so constructed with satisfaction of the property, on the one hand, and, on the other, by the provisions that are made for determining what sets are capable of belonging to some set, that is, of being elements. In short, in a given system, if A is the set of x such that ...x . . ., then we are interested in knowing just what are members of A and whether or not A is an element. Since the paradox revealed by Russell in 1901 precludes the allencompassing provision of taking as a classification axiom each formula obtained from ‘VAAX(XEA~,P)’ (4) by replacing P by a formula in which ‘ A ’ does not appear, other so far successful provisions have been engineered. Those of Russell and Whitehead4 lie in restricting the kinds of formulas which may be considered as replacements for ‘P’. Only suitably restricted ones are considered meaningful and only for one of these does (4) give rise to an axiom. Use of the Index of Consonants may shorten subsequent’referentialsearches.

by replacing ‘ P ’ by a formula in which ‘A’ does not appear. Then, because of the dependence of A upon B, other axioms are adopted to assure the existence of at least one set and indeed of more than one. Thereafter (5) is used to get a great variety of sets. However, no universal set is forthcoming from ( 5 ) . An important feature is the total lack of restriction placed upon the capability of a set being an element. Stemming from von Neumann’s idea that it is not so much the existence ofsets constructed from arbitrary properties that induces paradoxes as the lack of restraint in allowing them to be elements, are the systems of von Neumann-Bernays-Godel,6 Quine, and Morse. The von Neumann-Bernays-Godel set-theoretic axiom system is both finite and unschematic. An axiom provides for the existence of a set with a certain property, and further axioms provide for the existence of other sets dependent upon given sets. In addition an axiom provides for the existence of an element, and further axioms provide for the existence of other elements dependent upon given sets or elements.

by replacing ‘ P ’ by such a formula rp that: A does not appear in rp; quantification in rp is restricted to elements. Whether or not the set A is in turn an element must be determined from the axioms about elements. An early consequence is the existence of a unique universal set. Were it to be an element, a Russell type paradox would ensue. I n Quine’s system a classification axiom schema is described which amounts to accepting as an axiom each formula obtained from

by replacing ‘ P by such a formula y that: A does not appear in y; ;quantification in y is restricted to elements; the variables appearing in cp different from ‘ x ’ and not bound therein are conjunctively restricted to elements. For example, a suitably restricted replacement for ‘ P arising from

‘p is stratified

The elementhood axiom schema does not preclude the elementhood of comprehensive sets. A universal set is defined which turns out to be a member ofitself. One consequence of this is that the hereditary property of a subset of an element being an element does not hold. Although the present axioms are finite in number some of them do involve schematic expressions. Among these of particular interest is 2.5.3 which enables the set of x such that . x . . . to be defined.

is analogous to theorems described by Quine9 as consequences of his $29 (7). Axiom 2.5.7, which, in contrast with 2.5.3, is replaceable by axioms not involving schematic expressions helps guarantee considerable elementhood. The elementhood of the universe is not guaranteed. Indeed, as with the von Neumann-Bernays-Godel system if this were so, a contradiction would arise. Closely related to (9) is the formula ‘ ( x E Ex ux -

at the University of California. Kelley later borrowed and put to good use this simple formula. He, in effect, accepts as an axiom each formula obtained from ‘ ( x E E x P - P A VB(x E B ) ) ’ (10) by replacing ‘ P’ by a formula. Kelley’s system, which incorporates many features of an equivalent earlier unpublished system of Morse, is very much the same in pure set theoretic content as the system at hand, although it is far from clear upon glancing at the axioms that it is. For purposes of further comparison let us say a schema is concise if and only if it can be replaced by a single formula with the same effect. This formula, of course, may have schematic expressions appearing in it. The classification schema (4), widely accepted before 1901, is made concise by ‘ VAAx(x E A t)gx) ’. I t is highly unlikely that the restrictions of Russell and Whitehead can be rendered into a schema that can be made concise. The classification schema of Zermelo-Fraenkel (5) is made concise by

‘ABVAAx(x E A t)ux - Ax

B ) ’.

An interesting feature of the von Neumann-Bernays-Godel system is that when translated into the present language with logic left intact the purely set-theoretic axioms are not only finite in number but devoid of schematic expressions as well. However it is unlikely that the classification metatheorem (6) can be made concise. The classification schema of Quine (7) is made concise by

‘ VAAx(x E A t)ux A VB(x E B ) )’. However it is unlikely that his elementhood schema (8) can be made concise. The classification schema (10) used by Kelley is made concise by

Although the present system and Quine’s’ revised system may both be consistent, they are radically different, chiefly as to provisions for elementhood. 10 Kelley, J.

The von Neumann-Bernays-Godel system has been shown to be equiconsistent with the Zermelo-Fraenkel system. The system used by Kelley is definitely stronger than the von Neumann-Bernays-Godel system. The present system is slightly stronger than Kelley’s. Their striking set-theoretic similarities though suggest that the former is consistent with the latter. I a m told that Alfred Tarski and later David C . Peterson have verified this relative consistency. Thus the present unified system is just as sound as the more conventional ununified system used by Kelley. For those interested, a more precise account will now be given of the similarities, unearthed by the proof of relative consistency, between the present system and that of Kelley. We shall take advantage of0.70-0.75. Let us agree here that : Pis statemental if and only if P is either a schematic expression, or a variant of ‘Axgx’) or ‘(gx+vx)’, or ‘NLJX’, or ‘ ( x E ~ ) ’ ; N is nominal if and only if N is either a variable or a variant of ‘ Ex ux’; C is generated by T if and only if C is not a subformula of T and there is such a subformula B of T that C is obtained from B either by replacing some free variable of B by some nominal formula or by schematically replacing some schematic expression of B by some subformula of T ; S is a statementary if and only if S is a string and each subformula of S is either a statemental formula or a formula generated by some substring of S; C is statementant if and only if C is a subformula of some statementary ;and finally C is nominant if and only if C is either a variable or a n expression obtained from ‘ Exy ’ by replacing ‘x’ by some variable and y ’ by some statementant expression. A statementant expression is statement-like and a nominant expression is name-like. I t turns out that if H is a statementant expression devoid of schemators, then H is a theorem in the present system if and only if it is a theorem in the translated’* system of Kelley. T. J. M.

This translated system is, in effect, the more conventional system alluded to in the second paragraph of the preface which follows.


PREFACE This book provides graduate students and professional mathematicians with a formal unified treatment of logic and set theory. The formalization can be used without change to build just about any mathematical structure on some suitable foundation of definitions and axioms. I n addition to most of the topics considered standard fare for set theory several special ones are treated. I t is hoped the book will be found useful as a text for a substantial one-semester course in set theory and that the student will find continuing use for the formal and highly flexible language. The first and more fundamental part of Chapter 0 terminates with a detailed account of our rules of inference. Here the lack of distinction between formulas and terms both unifies and simplifies the formalization. O u r axioms reflect this unity and, in keeping with the Remark preceding 2.33, each theorem of logic is an immediate consequence of a corresponding systematically verifiable theorem of set theory. Nevertheless without changing Chapter 0 in any way we could equally well use more conventional axioms which would preserve the usual sharp distinction between logic and set theory. The more conventional system we have in mind differs but little from the present one in the separated worlds of logic and set theory. I t is somewhat more concise axiomatically. I t has ‘ Ex u-x ’ as an additional set-theoretic primitive form, and in harmony with Theorem 2.35 it uses

‘ ( ( x E Exux)++ (U -X A ~ ~ ( x E z J ) ) ) ’ as an axiom of classification. I t also fails quite naturally in our view to answer some of the simplest questions about the interplay of logic and set theory. The last and less fundamental part of Chapter 0 is dominated by our XXV

Preface

Theory of Notation. Many notations in common use in present day mathematics are automatically preserved. Among these are and

‘(x+y-z+w)’

‘ Ix + y - 2 + wI ’,

but not among these are ‘ IxytI ’ and ‘ lxlylzl’. We abandon the classical functional notation If(.) ’ since its use would lead to almost instant technical disaster. Mindful of such danger von Neumann introduced the technically sound notation ‘ [f x ] ’ which could well be used as an alternate to our shorter notation ‘.fx’. More specifically no harm would be done by adding

‘ “f’X I

= .fx)’

to our list of definitions. O n the other hand, if

‘ (f( x ) = . f x ) ’ were added the resulting system would perforce be inconsistent. Our Theory of Notation is followed by a short section on demonstrations, and Chapter 0 is then concluded with a section on chains. Taken together these last two sections of Chapter 0 are independent of the Theory of Notation and make quite explicit the notion of formula and the concept of theorem. Because of the importance we attach to definitions we formulate in the Appendix the rules we follow in making them. Earlier, S. Lehiewski worked painstakingly along these lines. We shall employ the terminology ‘ point’ and ‘set’ instead of the more usual terminology ‘set’ and ‘class’. We feel justified in this since to us a point is a set capable of belonging to a set. We think of a set which is not a point as very large indeed. Many problems which appear to be solvable by definitional induction may, because of the sheer size of the sets involved, not yield to ordinary definition by induction. I n this connection the more general principle 2.101 may be of real use. Specifically we use 2.101 to advantage in proving 2.183, which is a rather natural but far reaching direct extension theorem. I n 2.1 15 we formulate our very powerful Maximal Principle which like that of Hausdorff does not limit the competition to points. An easy

consequence of 2.1 15 is 2.1 18 of which Hausdorffs Maximal Principle 2.11 9 is a special case. That 2.118 is not an easy consequence of 2.119 is, we feel, brought out by 2.120. The difficulty here arises from the possibility that no point is maximal. For purposes of further comparison let us agree that Kuratowski’s Lemma and Zorn’s Lemma are, respectively, Theorems 25(d) and 25(e) given by J. L. Kelley on page 33 of his General Topology, Van Nostrand, Princeton, New Jersey, 1955. From 2.118 which has no premise we learn that the conclusion in Kuratowski’s Lemma is essentially independent of the premise. In 2.121 and 2.123 we have useful inductive variants of Zorn’s Lemma. There is indeed a connection between Zorn’s Lemma and our 2.122 in that, roughly speaking, the conclusions are the same but the premise of the former implies that of the latter. We feel that the entitled theorems of Chapter 2 capture, short of inconsistency, the intuitive simplicity of Frege’s beautiful, but inconsistent system . I am grateful to students and colleagues for comments and advice. I am doubly grateful to those students who, down through the years, have found a treatment akin to this both interesting and comprehensible. The axioms for logic, which are easy to work with, were suggested by Alfred Tarski. Also due to him, in collaboration with Knaster, is the approach to Theorem 2.149 and the use of 2.149 in checking the CantorBernstein Theorem 2.154. Beyond this I have profited greatly from many most illuminating conversations with Tarski about the fundamentals of mathematics. I have received considerable help from David C. Peterson in preparing the final manuscript for publication. I owe him a special debt for valuable detailed criticisms and suggestions. I am grateful for support given by the Miller Institute.

CHAPTER 0

LANGUAGE A N D INFERENCE INTRODUCTION A mark is a more or less connected inscription. Among our marks are the Latin letters, the Greek letters, and the ten Arabic numerals. We think of a subscript, or a superscript which is not a quotation mark, as touching any inscription immediately to the left of it. Underlining is thought of as touching any inscription immediately above it. If one nonitalicized Latin letter is printed close beside another as in a word then they are thought of as touching. In this connection the ten Arabic numerals are to be thought of as nonitalicized Latin letters. For our present purposes we agree that c is a symbol if and only if c is a mark which is not a quotation mark. An expression is a linear array of symbols. As will be seen, quotation marks play a central role in this chapter. We do not include them among our symbols since this would quickly lead us by way of Agreement 0.9 into a contradiction. The possibility of such a contradiction would arise primarily from the inclusion of quotation marks among our symbols rather than imagined technical defects in 0.9. To discuss an object we must employ a name for it and not the object itself. We agree here that a name for an expression is formed by placing the expression between single quotation marks. Replacement.

If A is the expression ‘ ( x +y

+x)’,

then: if in A we replace ‘ x ’ by ‘ 1 ’ we obtain ‘(1 + y + 1)’; ifin A we replace ‘r’ by ‘ x ’ we obtain A ; ifin A we replace ‘y’ by ‘ x ’ we obtain

‘( x + x

Expressions. The inscription ‘ ma’ is a two symbol inscription in which precisely one symbol appears and that symbol appears precisely twice. The inscription ‘ ap’ is a two symbol inscription in which precisely two symbols appear and each of these appears precisely once. ‘wh’ is a two symbol expression and not a symbol whereas ‘wh ’ is a symbol. Among our symbols are : ‘+’, ‘*’, ‘:’, ‘...’, a , ‘p’, ‘9’’‘,’, ‘.’, ‘264’’ ‘98.64’’ ‘38A’, ‘ X I ’ , ‘XS”, ‘~12’.

Also among our symbols are wordlike nonitalic inscriptions such as: ‘sb’,

‘psb’,

‘inf’,

‘sup’.

If C is the expression obtained from ‘ (ap)’ by replacing ‘ a by A and ‘p’ by B then: ifAis ‘ x ’ and B is ‘ y ’ t h e n c i s ‘ ( x y ) ’ ; if Ais ‘x’ and B is

If C is the expression obtained from ‘ a p ’ by replacing ‘ a by A and ‘ p ’ by B then: ifA is ‘w h’ and Bis ‘ a t ’ then Cis ‘w h a t’; ifAis ‘up’ and B is ‘pa’ then C is the four symbol expression ‘ uppa’; if A is ‘wh’ and B is ‘ at ’ then C is the two symbol expression ‘wh at ’ ; if A is ‘ wh’ and B is ‘ a t ’ then C is the four symbol expression ‘ w h a t ’ ; if A is ‘27’

and B is ‘682’ then C is the two symbol expression ‘27 682’; and if A is ‘x” and B is ‘y2’then C is the two symbol expression ‘x’ y2’. Rudiments. Our definor is ‘ = ’. Our punctuator is ‘ 1’.

Unlike our definor, which will appear frequently, our punctuator will never appear in the mathematical language we are trying to describe. Instead it will be used, in the final section ofthis chapter, to facilitate the analysis of expressions in which it does not appear. Our schemators are :

Inference starts with definitions and axioms. Each definition and each axiom will be an expression explicitly described or explicitly introduced by an appropriate marginal label. The scope of such a marginal label will end just before the next heading, aside, or marginal notation. I n addition we have so constructed the definitions themselves that no definition can be an initial segment of a different definition. We shall now explain the precautions we have taken to achieve this somewhat limited goal. We agree S isframed if and only if S is an expression in which ‘ I’ does not appear. We agree S isformative if and only if S is a framed expression in which ‘ = ’ does not appear. We agree that: Sisparenthetic if and only ifSis ‘ ( ) ’ or Scan be obtained from ‘ ( x ) ’ by replacing ‘ x ’ by an expression in which no parenthesis appears; S evolves T i f and only if T can be obtained from S by replacing a symbol which is not a parenthesis by a parenthetic expression; S is parenthetical if and only if S is a framed expression which can be built by successive evolvment from some expression in which no parenthesis appears. Thus if A and B are parenthetical expressions and C is obtained from A by replacing a symbol, which is not a parenthesis, by B, then C is parenthetical. We have so constructed our definitions that if D is one of them then D can be obtained from ‘ ( x = y) ’ by replacing ‘y’ by a parenthetical expression and ‘ x ’ by a formative expression.


4

As is well known, parenthetical expressions have a straightforward arithmetical characterization. T o ‘ ( ’ is assigned the value 1 ; to each symbol which is not a parenthesis is assigned the value 0; to ‘ ) ’ is assigned the value - 1. Now if S is any framed expression, then : S is parenthetical if and only if the total value of S is 0 and that of each initial segment is non-negative. Among the parenthetical expressions are: ‘xyz’,

‘x(y

-+ x ) ( a

--+ b ) t = 2, ‘ ( x -+ ( y -+ 2))’.

We agree that c i s j x e d by D if and only if D is a definition that can be obtained from ‘ ( x = y) ’ by replacing ‘y ’ by a parenthetical expression in which c does not occur and ‘ x ’ by a formative expression in which c does occur. We agree that c is a constant if and only if c is ‘ = ’, or c is or c is a schemator, or c is a symbol fixed by some definition. Definitions 0.0 inform us that parentheses, the implicator ‘ -+’, the universal quantifier ‘A’, and the semicolon are among our constants; and Definitions 2.0 inform us that the membership sign ‘ E ’ and the Zermelo Selector ‘mel’ are among our constants. We agree that CL is a variable if and only if a is a symbol which is not a constant. The light face italic Latin letters together with the superscripted and subscripted symbols derived therefrom are variables. We agree that D lifts A if and only if A is a formative expression and D is a definition which can be obtained from ‘ ( x = y) ’ by replacing ‘x’ by A and ‘tj’ by a parenthetical expression. We agree that D raises A if and only if A is a formative expression and D is a definition which can be obtained from ‘ ( x ~ y )by’ replacing L x ’ by A and ‘y’ by a parenthetical expression different from A . Thus our definition

‘B’,

‘ ((P/I4 ) = -(P

+

4))

’

both lifts and raises ‘ (p A q ) ’. Our definition

‘ ( ( x -+ x ’ ) = ( x -+ x ‘ ) ) ’ lifts but does not raise ‘ ( x --f x ’ ) ’. We agree that A is a dejiniendum if and only if some definition lifts A .

5

Introduction Thus from our definition

‘ (0 3 Axx) ’

we learn that ‘ 0 ’ is both a definiendum and a constant. From our definition ‘ ( x = x ) ’ we learn that ‘ x ’ is a definiendum. We agree that B is a variant of A if and only if B can be obtained from A by replacing variables by variables and conversely A can be obtained from B by replacing variables by variables. We agree that A and B are diverse if and only if A and B are expressions and B is not a variant of A . We agree that Cis a form if and only if C is a variant either of‘ ( x = y ) ’ or of some definiendum. From our definition

‘ ( ( P A q ) = -(P -4)) ’ we learn that ‘ (p A q ) ’ is a definiendum and that ‘ ( x A y) ’ is However, ‘ ( x A x ) ’ is not a form. From our definitions ‘ ( V Xux e -AX -UX) - ’ +

a form.

and

‘ (VX E x’ vx vx) ’ - e v x ; ( x E x‘) we learn that ’ Vy u y ’ and ‘ V t E y v t ’ are forms. However, ‘ V x vx’ is not a form. Forms are to be read as a whole. The individual constants are usually incidental. The expression ‘ (p + q ) ’ has nothing to do with limits and the expression ‘ (yx + A as x + a ) ’

has nothing to do with implication. We agree that C is primitive if and only if either C is a schemator, or C is ‘ = ’, or C is ‘ ( x _= y) ’, or C is such a definiendum that no definition raises a variant of C. Our primitive constants consist of our definor and our schemators. We agree that S is primal if and only if S is one of the expressions : ‘(XEY)’,

We agree S is schematic if and only if S can be obtained by replacing variables by variables in some primal expression in which a schemator appears. In an informal way we sometimes think ux if and only if x has the property y . Alternatively, in an informal way we sometimes think that is the set corresponding to x under u . In most given instances one ux thought is more reasonable than the other. We agree that A is simple if and only if A is an expression in which no variable appears more than once. Schematic Replacement. We agree that B is obtained from A by schematically replacing S by R if and only i f S is a schematic expression, and there is an expression Q in which the first symbol in S does not occur and a symbol q such that A is obtained from Q by replacing q by S and B is obtained from Q by replacing q by R.

The only reason for making the first two definitions of 0.0 below is to establish certain constants. The only reason for making the remainder of the definitions is to lift certain important forms. 0.0

Through rules and agreements we shall try to make clear when a given variable isfree, indicial, or accepted in an expression. * We shall also try to make clear just what expressions are formulas, and we shall give rules of inference for establishing theorems. Theorems, of course, are of particular interest to us. Our rules of inference enable us, step by step, to use theorems already known to us to discover new theorems. Formalization describes with care an explicit process for arriving at theorems. Our rules are to be taken for granted although some of them can be derived from others. Our rules are akin to, but different from, axioms and theorems. Our agreements are akin to, but different from, definitions. Mathematics is made up of statements about sets. Metamathematics is made up of statements about expressions. Axioms, theorems, and definitions belong to mathematics. Rules and agreements belong to metamathematics. To give a rough idea of the roles played by schematic expressions, free variables, indicial variables, and accepted variables, we say that in a theorem a free variable is replaceable by a wide variety of formulas, a schematic expression is replaceable by a still wider variety of formulas, and an indicial variable, such as an index of summation or a dummy variable of integration, is replaceable by accepted variables.

0.4 RULE. If A is a formula, Cis a formula, B is different from A and is obtained from A either by replacing some free variable of A by C or by schematically replacing some schematic expression by C, then a variable is free in B if and only if it is free in both A and C. The remainder of this section and the last two sections of this chapter, 0.70-0.85, shed light on the precise structure of formulas and the explicit nature of theorems. However, the reader may omit all of this material except 0.9, according to his pleasure, since the rest of this chapter, which includes the mechanics of proof, is entirely independent. 0.5 AGREEMENT. variable.

Thus ‘A(x -+ x)y’

is not a formula since otherwise we could learn that ‘ t’ is both free and not free in ‘At,’.

0.17

RULE.

No formula is a n initial segment of a different formula.

0.18 RULE. If A is a prefix, B is a suffix, and (AB) is a reducible formula, then some initial segment of B is a formula. Remark. I n order that the foregoing rules and agreements unite in harmony, we must in making definitions take some technical precautions such as, for example, those outlined in A.Q-A.8 of the Appendix.

INDICIAL AND ACCEPTED VARIABLES 0.19 RULE. If a is indicial in A, then a is a variable and A is a formula; if a is accepted in A , then a is a variable and A is a formula. 0.20 RULE. A variable is indicial in a form if and only if it occurs therein more than once. 0.21 RULE. A variable is accepted in a form if and only if it occurs therein less than twice. Thus a variable is accepted in a form, as opposed to a formula, if and only if the variable is free in the form.

0.22 RULE. If A , B, and C are formulas with A different from B and B different from C, and ifB can be obtained from A by replacing a free and accepted variable of A by C, then : a is accepted in B if and only if a is accepted in A , and a is indicial in B if and only if a is indicial in A and does not appear in C. 0.23 RULE. If A , B, and C are formulas with A different from B and B different from C, S is a schematic expression, some variable in S is indicial in A , and if B is obtained from A by schematically replacing S by C, then: a is indicial in B if and only if a is indicial in A , and a is accepted in B if and only if a is accepted in A and does not appear in C. If some variable is indicial in a form then it is quite reasonable to assign special significance to the posi’tions occupied by the free variables and the schematic expressions, and to the positions outside of schematic expressions occupied by individual variables. For example, in ‘Vx E A ux’

we might say ‘ x ’ in its first appearance is in an indicial position, ‘A’ is in a free position, and ‘ u x ’ is in a position subservient to the indicial. Indicia1 and accepted variables can be looked at, less mechanically, in another way. Suppose F is a form which is neither a schematic form nor a variable. Variables free in F are of course accepted in F and all other variables are indicial in F. Now i f F is obtained from F by simultaneously replacing free variables which appear in F by formulas and schematically replacing schematic expressions which appear in F by

Indicia1 and Accepted Variables

11

formulas then : a variable is indicial in F if and only if it is indicial in F and does not appear in any of the formulas replacing free variables, and a variable is accepted in F‘ if and only if it is accepted in F and does not appear in any of the formulas schematically replacing schematic expressions. Remarks. A variable which does not occur in a formula is free, accepted, but not indicial therein. I n the expression ‘Ax(x

--f

y) ’

‘ x ’ is indicial and not free, whereas ‘y’ is free but neither indicial nor accepted. Because ‘ x ’ is free in ‘Ay uy’ - and in ‘ (x E t ) ’ it follows that ‘ x ’ is free in ‘Ay(x E t ) ’.

I n the expression ‘AxAyy’, ‘ x ’ is indical and not free while ‘y’ is neither free nor indicial nor accepted. I n the expressions ‘AyAyy’,

‘ V y ~ A x x y ’ , and

‘Vy~xy’,

‘y’ is indicial and ‘ x ’ is accepted. In the expression ‘Vx E x x ’ , ‘ x ’ is neither free nor indicial nor accepted. In the expression

‘ (Axx + Axx) ’ ‘ x ’ is accepted but neither free nor indicial.

If A is any formula exhibited previously, then a variable is free in A if and only if in A it never immediately follows ‘ A ’ or ‘ V’. A variable b is indicial in A provided A is obtained from ‘Axz’ or ‘ Vxz’ or ‘ Vx E y z ’ by replacing ‘ x ’ by b, ‘y’ by a formula in which b does not appear, and ‘ z ’ by a formula. Furthermore, if A is obtained from ‘Axz’ or ‘ V x z ’ or ‘ V x E y z ’ by replacing ‘ x ’ by a variable a, ‘y’ by a formula, and ‘ z ’ by a formula C, then : a variable is accepted in A if and only if it differs from a and does not appear in C. O u r Rule of Inference 0.28 is, of course, to be understood in the light of 0.19-0.23. There is a natural temptation to simplify 0.28, by abandoning acceptedness, using a simpler notion of indiciality, and, in 0.28, replacing the words ‘ is accepted ’ by ‘ does not appear ’. T o assess the consequences of this proposed simplification let us adopt the unordered summation notation

‘ C x E A ux’. -


12

I t is then natural to expect that

(EnE 4 n = 6 = E m E 4 m).

Also it seems clear that ‘ E x E y x’

is a formula. Inasmuch as

‘ (Y

AxY) ’ is a formula in which ‘y’ is free it seems inescapable that -+

‘ ( x -+ A x x ) ’ is a formula, but not, we hope, a theorem. Thus, since ‘y’ is free in

‘ Z x E y x’

we feel compelled to admit that

‘Ex Ex

x’

is also a formula. If 0.28 were simplified in the way we momentarily have in mind, then we would be unable to interpret the formula

‘Ex E x x ’ . But with 0.28 and 0.19-0.23, as they stand, at our disposal we notice that

(CYExY=EYExY) and use 0.28 to infer that

( E x E x x = Ey E xy).

RULES OF INFERENCE; THEOREMS 0.24 INITIATION. Every formula asserted to be a definition or an axiom is a theorem.

It should not be assumed that a formula is a definition just because it looks like one. Although always a theorem, a formula variant of a definition is seldom a definition. In particular the formula

‘ (0 = Ayy) ’, which is a variant of Definition 1.0.3., is not a definition.

Rules of Inference; Theorems

13

Definitions are more than mere shorthand devices. Since we accept formulas of this sort as theorems we should use care in making them. Presumably only by mistake would someone fashion a n axiom which is not a formula.

0.25 DETACHMENT. If a theorem is obtained from ‘ ( p + q) ’ by replacing ‘ p ’ by a theorem and ‘q’ by a formula T, then Tis a theorem. 0.26 SUBSTITUTION. If T is a theorem in which b is free and A is such a formula that each variable in it is free in T, then the expression obtained from T by replacing b by A is also a theorem. 0.27 SCHEMATIC SUBSTITUTION. If T is a theorem, S is a schematic expression, and A is such a formula that each variable in it is either free in T o r occurs explicitly in S, and T is a formula obtained from T by schematically replacing S by A , then T‘is a theorem.

0.28 I NDlClAL SUBSTITUTION. Ifq is free in Q, Tis a theorem obtained from Q by replacing q by a formula A in which CY is indicial, B is obtained from A by replacing cc by a variable which is accepted in A , and finally T is obtained from Q by replacing q by B, then T is a theorem. 0.29

UNIVERSALIZATION. If T is a formula obtained from

‘Axy’ by replacing ‘ x ’ by a variable and ‘y’by a theorem, then T is a

theorem.

We shall eventually categorically describe theorems in Rule 0.75. This rule is independent of the intervening Theory of Notation. Examples. By detachment we learn that if

‘ ( A x ( x +x )

+ ( x +x ) ) ’

is a theorem and if ‘Ax(% + x ) ’

is a theorem, then ‘ ( x -+ x ) ’ is a theorem. By substitution we learn that if is a theorem then

‘((Y+t)

+Ax(y+t))’

‘((Y+Y)

+AX(Y+Y))’

14


is a theorem. However, replacing ‘ t ’ or ‘y’ by ‘ x ’ is not allowed by substitution. By schematic substitution we learn that if

‘ (Ax ux -+ yx) ’ is a theorem then

‘ (Ax(x -+ x )

-+ (x -+ x))

’

is also a theorem. Note, however, that from the supposition that ‘&Y

+Y)’

is a theorem we cannot employ either substitution or schematic substitution to infer that

‘ (Ax(x -+ x)

( x -+ x)) ’

-+

is a theorem. By indicia1 substitution we learn that if

‘ (VX E y x -+ v x E y x ) ’, and

‘ (Ax -ux + UX) ’, ‘ (Ax(x

-+ x) -+ ( x

-+ x ) ) ’

are theorems, then L ( v xE y x

and

-+

vy E y y ) ’ ,

‘ @Y UY + y). ’, ‘ (AYY(Y -+Y)

+

(x

+

4)’

are theorems. However, from the assumption that

‘ (AY UY

+

3-4’

is a theorem we cannot directly employ schematic substitution to learn that ‘(AY(Y +Y) -+ ( x - + x ) ) ’ is a theorem. This is because ‘uy - ’ and ‘ yx’ are not the same.

15

We henceforth try to bear these foregoing rules in mind.

THEORY OF NOTATION The reader may find some of our notations different from those to which he has become accustomed. We find ourselves a little reluctant to introduce nonlinear notations and somewhat more reluctant to introduce notations which make it very easy to reach a contradiction. As we have indicated before, reluctance of the latter sort caused us to use the functional notation ‘.f x ’ in place of the customary, and incidentally more cumbersome, notation ‘f(x) ’. Although most of the formulas we use can be deciphered intuitively, we nevertheless suggest a somewhat cursory perusal of and occasional reference to this section. We formulate herein a general and flexible theory of notation which permits useful simplification of a vast number of complicated expressions and justifies many of the informal conventions of present-day mathematics. Attention paid to the examples should make considerably easier the reader’s understanding of the rudiments of the theory. An occasional reader may, in his mind’s eye, prefer to alter somewhat agreements given in the spirit of 0.30, or even recast them as rules. We shall make no real use of 0.50-0.64 until we reach 2.57.

then the bisegments of A are ‘ +’, and ‘ < n u ’; ‘ +’, and the parentheses are of prime importance in A; ‘ x ” and ‘ x ” ’ are left in A ; ‘ x ” ’ and ‘x””’ are right in A; and the complicate of A is ‘+a’,

Hereafter we shall accept formulas like those in 2.32 without question. Remark. Logic helps us investigate set theory. Conversely set theory can be used to establish theorems in logic. We agree that a formula A is universal if and only if a theorem is obtained from ‘ ( x = U) ’ by replacing ‘x’ by A . Now all theorems which can be inferred from universal axioms are themselves universal. An examination reveals that all our axioms for logic are universal and that all but Axiom 2.5.0 of our axioms for set theory are universal. Since every universal formula is obviously a theorem we now have a t hand a systematic set-theoretic method for exploring logic.

Ordered Pairs

ORDERED PAIRS In connection with 2.57.1 recall 0.58, 0.60, 0.62, and the relevant examples. In connection with 2.57.3 glance back at 0.30.19. The preliminary ordered pair, is described by 2.56.0 and is due to N. Wiener. It naturally gives rise to a preliminary Cartesian product, which behaves beautifully under nonvacuous intersection and nesting union, and falters as an ordered pair only when one of the coordinates is 0. This defect can be remedied by one-to-one correlating with each set a nonvacuous set. Depending on the correlation chosen the new ordered pair may have much or little in common with the preliminary Cartesian product from which it is fashioned. I n 1949J. W. Weihe hit upon the splendid idea of correlating with each set a the nonvacuous set sb a . The ordered pair of Weihe, (sb a

sb b ) ,

behaves smoothly under nonvacuous intersection but erratically under nonvacuous nesting union. Recently D. C. Peterson and I hit upon the idea of correlating with each set a the nonvacuous set ss a ,described by 2.57.0, and of reaching ( a , b ) by way of 2.57.1. Because of 2.60 and especially 2.60.2 the correlation we use is somewhat more commutative than that of Weihe, and our ordered pair behaves smoothly under both nonvacuous intersection and nonvacuous union. We are trying here to fashion an ordered pair which will stand up under strain. As an ordered pair, ((sng 0 ,,a ) u (sng sng 0

b))

qualifies under 2.61 and 2.62 but fails under 2.63. As a rather attractive ordered pair, ((ss a ss 0 ) u (ss 0 ss b ) ) qualifies under 2.61,2.62, and 2.63 but fails in some respects as a 2-tuple.

2. Set Theory

60

We have so arranged things that ( a , b) qualifies as a 2-tuple and we shall later so arrange things that ( a ,b ,c ) qualifies as a 3-tuple. Theorems 2.63 facilitate constructions. The reader uninterested in 2.62 is advised to ignore 2.59.10-2.59.15 and 2.60.2-2.60.4.

The general principle of definition by induction is summed up in: 2.101 THE GENERAL INDUCTION THEOREM. (Induced Rxy y'xy t,R = Ndc xy y'xy)

An easy application of the General Induction Theorem is 2.102.0 below. Since the vertical sections may not be points, the General Induction Theorem is not a special case of Theorem 2.102.0. More .demanding applications in which the Ordinary Induction Theorems are of little use can arise. See, for example, 2.182 and 2.183 wherein many vertical sections are not points.

Consequently univalent is K Since ( N = Vx E dmn K sng *K scsr x ) , it is evident that nest is N

Also

( N = Vx E dmn K sng * K ( x u sngx) = Vx E dmn K sng (,Kx u sng .Kx) = Vx E dmn K sng (rng strc Kx u sng X x ) ) .

( K = nestbuilder F). I n order to complete the proof by showing

-Vq c F (nest is 7 A V N c.V7) we assume the contrary, so choose 7 that

(7c F A nest is 7 A V N c.Vq), and so determine z that (2 E

In accordance with the Theorem of Choice we so choose P that

and in a four step argument infer in contradiction to 2.95.6 that (QE U). Step 0. Proof.

APPENDIX

THE CONSTRUCTI0N OF DEFINITIONS Definitions are, as we have said before, more than mere shorthand devices. Since we accept8 formulas of this sort as theorems we should use care in making them. For example if to our present definienda we were in some way to add ‘ f ( x )’ then many resulting formulas would be unreadable. I n particular if,

‘( f ( x )= .fx) ’ were added to our list of definitions then it should be easy for anyone familiar with Chapter 2 to show that ‘ (0 = 1) ’ is a theorem. O u r definitions are constructed in accordance with the agreements and rules below ; we suggest that the reader bear these in mind when he formulates new definitions of his own.

THE STRUCTURE OF BASIC FORMS I n this section we presuppose terminological familiarity with only the Introduction which begins Chapter 0. A.0 AGREEMENT. definiendum.

AisbmicifandonlyifAiseither‘(x=y)’ora

As in 0.7 we make: A.l AGREEMENT. a is a n introductor if and only if a is a constant which is the initial symbol of some definiendum. A.2 AGREEMENT. a is a connector if and only if a is a constant which is not a schemator and some definiendum can be obtained from 8 If, however, a definition, or even an axiom, is not a formula, then it is not accepted as a theorem. 113

‘xy’ by replacing ‘x’ by a symbol and ‘y’ by an expression in which a appears. A.3 AGREEMENT. tor and a connector.

a is afianker if and only if a is both an introduc-

A.4 AGREEMENT. S is a signature of A if and only if there is such an expression Q, devoid of schemators, that A can be obtained from Q by replacing variables by schematic expressions, and S can be obtained from Q by replacing each variable of Q by ‘ x ’ .

Thus ‘ (x + x)’ is a signature of both ‘ (x + A ) ’ and of ‘ ( z +y) ’, ‘x’ is a signature of both ‘ uy ’ and ‘_~“xyz’, ‘Axx’ is a signature of ‘Ax v’yy’ and the expression ‘ uvx’ has no signature. I t should be fairlyclear that an expression can have at most one signature. A.5 RULE. A is a basic form if and only if A either is a primal expression or is a definiendum corresponding to which there is such a simple expression F that: no schemator appears in F ; every variable which appears in A also appears in F ; and A can be obtained from F by replacing variables which do not appear in A by schematic expressions. A.6 RULE. If A is a basic form then in A no schemator appears more than once. A.7 RULE. If a is a flanker and A is a basic form in which a appears then A can be obtained from ‘xyx’ by replacing ‘x’ by ci and ‘y ’ by some expression B for which: ci does not appear in B ; the terminal symbol of B is a variable; and in some signature of B, ‘x’ is not adjacent to ‘x’. A.8 RULE. If A and A‘ are diverse basic forms which are not schematic, then there are such expressions S and S‘ that S is a signature of A , S’is a signature of A‘, and S is not an initial segment of S’. A.9 RULE. If A is a basic form, B and C are schematic expressions which are segments of A , and a is a variable, then a appears in B if and only if a appears in C.

Conformity of our definitions to A.0-A.8 assures the variability of primal symbols, the constancy of the opening parenthesis, the unique readability of formulas, the mechanical soundness of our language, the

harmony of all our rules and agreements, and the precision of our descriptions of formulas and theorems. If, in nonconformity with A.5, our whole set of definitions were to consist of the expressions enumerated in 0.0 together with the seemingly innocent expression ‘ (A* u‘xx = Ax u’xx) ’ then, as the reader may easily check, ‘x’ would be both free and not free in ‘A* u‘xx’. We shallcomment later on the rather interesting role played by A.9.

THE STRUCTURE OF DEFINITIONS In this section we shall give rules of definition which though sometimes complicated in formulation are for the most part followed instinctively by any cautious constructor of definitions. Throughout the remainder of this appendix we presuppose termino1ogicalCamiliaritywith the material preceding and following the Theory of Notation, and with 0.31.0 and 0.51. Here we are primarily interested in mathematical, rather than mechanical, soundness of our language. We want to make sure, for example, that unwanted theorems must arise from axiomatic rather than linguistic .defects. A.10 RULE. Parentheses, the semicolon, binarians, and notarians are constants; in particular, ‘ +’ and ‘A’ are constants. A.11 RULE. The lightface italic Latin letters together with the superscripted and subscripted symbols derived therefrom are variables. A.12

RULE.

Every primal expression is a primitive form.

A.13

RULE.

Among the forms are ‘ (x + x ’ ) ’ and ‘Ax ux’.

At this stage it seems pleasanter to endow A.14 with a symmetry which not only smooths our present path but also makes each formula parenthetical. A.14

If D is a definition then D can be obtained from

A.15 RULE. If D is a definition and a is a schemator then some formula in which a does not appear can be obtained from D by schematically replacing some schematic expression by ‘x ’. A.16 AGREEMENT. S is a child of D if and only if D raises a n expression of which S is a signature. A.17

RULE.

If S is a child of D and of D ’ , then D is the same as D’.

I n other words, a n expression is the child of at most one expression. A.18 AGREEMENT. a is bound in A if and only if a is a variable and A can be obtained from some formula in which a does not occur by replacing free variables by formulas in which a is indicial. Thus in each of the expressions

‘ Vxx’, ‘ (y -+ Ayy) ’, ‘ (y -+ Vx ux) ’, ux -+ Axy)’, ‘ V x E y x’, ‘Vy E Y y’, ‘(Ax ‘ x ’ is bound and, except in the first, ‘y’is not. A.19

RULE.

If a definition is obtained from ‘ (x ~ y’ by ) replacing

‘x’ by A and ‘y’ by B then: every variable is either free in B or bound in B; a schemator appears in A if and only if it appears in B; a variable appears precisely once in A if and only if it appears in B and is free therein; and if a variable is indicial in A then it is bound in B. A.20 AGREEMENT. B is a constituent of A if and only if B is a strict formula and there are such a formula Q and such a variable a that u appears precisely once in Q, and A is obtained from Q by replacing a by B. A.21 AGREEMENT. T is a progenitor of A if and only if there are such formulas B and F that: B is a constituent of A; F is a fundamental formula from which B can be obtained by replacing free variables of F by formulas; and T is a signature ofF. A.22 AGREEMENT. T is a forebear of D if and only if D is a definition and there is such an expression B that D can be obtained from ‘(x =y)’ by replacing ‘ x ’ by an expression and ‘y’ by B, and T is a progenitor of B.

Adherence and Translatability

117

A.23 AGREEMENT. T is an ancestor of S if and only if there is a definition of which S is a child and T is a forebear.

A.24 AGREEMENT. D is an antecedent of A if and only if D has a child which is a progenitor of A. We now use 0.76 and 0.9.

A.25 AGREEMENT. R is a tree if and only if R is a chain and corresponding to each link A of R, each ancestor T of A, and each such subchain P of T that P ends with A, there is such a chain Q that R is (PQ)and T is a link of Q. If D is the definition

‘ (-p = (p -+ 0 ) ) ’ then: D is the only definition of which ‘ N X ’ is a child; the ancestors of ‘NX’ are the forebears of D,which in turn are the progenitors of ‘ (p --f 0)’; the constituents of ‘(p --+ 0 ) ’ are ‘(p --f 0 ) ’ and ‘ 0 ’ ; the progenitors of ‘ (p --+ 0) ’ are ‘ ( x -+ x ) ’ and ‘0’; the ancestors of ‘ N X ’ are ‘ ( x --f x ) ’ and ‘0’; of these, the first has no ancestor and the second has the one ancestor ‘ A x x ’ ; ‘ A x x ’ has no ancestor; finally ‘ N X ’ is a link of the tree

‘1- X 1 ( x + x ) I0 4 A x x ’ . A.26 link.

RULE. If S is a child of D then there is a tree of which S is a

A.27

RULE.

Every antecedent of an axiom is also a n axiom.

A.28 REMARK. Systems which fail to comply with A.27 have a spurious simplicity. If two systems are to be compared, it is highly desirable that they both comply with A.27. Noncompliance has been the fundamental cause underlying certain anomalies.

ADHERENCE AND TRANSLATABILITY A.29 AGREEMENT. F is a formulaclass if and only if F is a class of formulas, each variable belongs to F, each schematic form belongs to F, and C is in F whenever A and B are such members of F and C is such a

118

A. The Construction of Dejinitionr

formula that either C is a variant of A, or C is a constituent of A, or C is obtained from A by replacing some free variable of A by B, or C is obtained from A by schematically replacing some schematic expression by B. A.30 AGREEMENT. (formulas G) consists of those formulas A such that A belongs to each formulaclass of which G is a subfamily. A.31 AGREEMENT. F is a consequenceclass if and only if F is such a class of formulas that C is in F whenever A and B are such members of Fand Cis such a member of (formulas F) that Cis entailed by A and by B. A.32 AG REEMENT. (consequences G) consists of those formulas A such that A belongs to each consequenceclass of which G is a subfamily. If G is any family of formulas then (formulas G) is a formulaclass, (consequences G) is a consequenceclass, G is a subfamily of (consequences G), and (consequences G) is a subfamily of (formulas G). A.33 AGREEMENT. We agree that F adheres to G if and only if each member of (consequences F) which is a member of (formulas G) is also a member of (consequences G) . Thus F adheres to G if and only if ((formulas G) n (consequencesF) c (consequences G)). A.34 AGREEMENT. A is proper if and only if A is a form with a signature different from ‘ x ’ . A.35 AGREEMENTS. .O A is salient if and only if A is such a proper primitive form that some progenitor of an axiom is a signature of A. .1 A is pristine if and only if A is a proper primitive form which is not salient. A pristine form awaits, so to speak, either definitional clarification or axiomatic elucidation. A.36 AGREEMENT. can be obtained from

We agree that A is annexed if and only if A

‘ (y = Axx) ’ by replacing ‘y’ by a pristine form.

119

Adherence and Translatability

Although annexed formulas are not to be thought of as definitions we nevertheless could easily, in conformity with our rules, so additionally designate as definitions certain of our present formulas that no form would be pristine and each presently annexed formula would become a theorem. Our salient forms actually are :

‘ (x E x’) ’, ‘me1 x’. ‘ (x =y) ’, ‘ (x + x’) ’, ‘A x ux’, Of these the second is lifted by 0.0.3, the third by 0.0.4, and the fourth by 2.0.1. It might be noticed in this connection that 0.0.3,0.0.4, and 2.0.1 are also made into definitions by the Theory of Notation. A.37 AGREEMENTS. 0 A is our set of axioms. 1 X consists of those formulas which are either axioms or definitions. .2 W consists of those formulas which are either axioms or definitions or annexed formulas. .3 S is our set of salient forms.

.

A.38 AGREEMENT. We agree that A translates into G if and only if a member of (consequences W) can be obtained from ‘ (x 3y) ’ by replacing ‘x’ by A and ‘y’ by a member of (formulas G). Remark. We have tried to so formulate the above rules that conformity of our definitions thereto will ensure, among other things, that X adheres to A and each formula translates into S.

If, in defiance of A.9, we were to include

‘ (A* xy ux y = AxAy(_wc+ xy)) ’

among our definitions, then

‘A* xy u’xy v’xy’ would become a formula which would not translate into S. If on the other hand, in conformity with our rules, we were to include ( (A* xy u’xy v‘xy -

E

AxAy(u‘xy - + v’xy)) -

among our definitions, then

‘ (A* xy ux - y = AxAy(ux - -+y)) ’,

would clearly become a theorem.
