Logic studies consequence, compatibility, contradiction, corroboration, necessitation, grounding.... [Ryle]
6. Mathematics / C. Sources of Mathematics / 6. Logicism / a. Early logicism
I hold that algebra and number are developments of logic [Jevons]

Many sentences do not state facts, but there are no facts which could not be stated [Ryle]
12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 3. Representation
Representation assumes you know the ideas, and the reality, and the relation between the two [Ryle]
