2013
Can we express “there’s only one”?

“quantifier” - a tool for measuring quantity;
“some”, “all”, “just one” - look like ancient
ways of counting people or stuff… or Gods.
Translating English → FOL
English
Each cube is to the left of a
tetrahedron
No cube to the right of a
tetrahedron is to the left of a

Every farmer who owns a
donkey beats it.

Prenex Normal Form of WFF

A sentence is in prenex form if all its quantifiers
are at the beginning of it.

But is it possible?!

do you see modus ponens and prenex form transformations?
Example (12.2)
Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
How about mixing quantifiers?...
That’s it for today
