Abstract
To the language of Chapter I, we add the “□”-operator (to express the English sentential adverb “necessarily”) and names of (and variables ranging over) propositions. By allowing the superscripts on the primitive relation terms to reach zero, we obtain names and variables for propositions. For convenience, we use P0,Q0,R0,…and F0,G0,H0,…as names and variables, respectively, for propositions.
