Abstract
This chapter presents a lesser-known limitation of first-order logic. Lipton had the experience of sitting on a potential breakthrough in complexity theory if only he could encode a certain construction in first-order logic. He approached Buss, who used his background in bounded logic to recognize it as a known impossibility.
