| 9703 | 'dom R' indicates the 'domain' of objects having a relation [Enderton] |
| 9705 | 'fld R' indicates the 'field' of all objects in the relation [Enderton] |
| 9704 | 'ran R' indicates the 'range' of objects being related to [Enderton] |
| 9710 | We write F:A→B to indicate that A maps into B (the output of F on A is in B) [Enderton] |
| 9707 | 'F(x)' is the unique value which F assumes for a value of x [Enderton] |
| 9712 | A relation is 'symmetric' on a set if every ordered pair has the relation in both directions [Enderton] |
| 9713 | A relation is 'transitive' if it can be carried over from two ordered pairs to a third [Enderton] |
| 9699 | The 'powerset' of a set is all the subsets of a given set [Enderton] |
| 9700 | Two sets are 'disjoint' iff their intersection is empty [Enderton] |
| 9702 | A 'domain' of a relation is the set of members of ordered pairs in the relation [Enderton] |
| 9701 | A 'relation' is a set of ordered pairs [Enderton] |
| 9706 | A 'function' is a relation in which each object is related to just one other object [Enderton] |
| 9708 | A function 'maps A into B' if the relating things are set A, and the things related to are all in B [Enderton] |
| 9709 | A function 'maps A onto B' if the relating things are set A, and the things related to are set B [Enderton] |
| 9711 | A relation is 'reflexive' on a set if every member bears the relation to itself [Enderton] |
| 9714 | A relation satisfies 'trichotomy' if all pairs are either relations, or contain identical objects [Enderton] |
| 9717 | A set is 'dominated' by another if a one-to-one function maps the first set into a subset of the second [Enderton] |
| 9715 | An 'equivalence relation' is a reflexive, symmetric and transitive binary relation [Enderton] |
| 9716 | We 'partition' a set into distinct subsets, according to each relation on its objects [Enderton] |
| 9722 | Inference not from content, but from the fact that it was said, is 'conversational implicature' [Enderton] |
| 9718 | Validity is either semantic (what preserves truth), or proof-theoretic (following procedures) [Enderton] |
| 9721 | A logical truth or tautology is a logical consequence of the empty set [Enderton] |
| 9994 | A truth assignment to the components of a wff 'satisfy' it if the wff is then True [Enderton] |
| 9719 | A proof theory is 'sound' if its valid inferences entail semantic validity [Enderton] |
| 9720 | A proof theory is 'complete' if semantically valid inferences entail proof-theoretic validity [Enderton] |
| 9995 | Proof in finite subsets is sufficient for proof in an infinite set [Enderton] |
| 9996 | Expressions are 'decidable' if inclusion in them (or not) can be proved [Enderton] |
| 9997 | For a reasonable language, the set of valid wff's can always be enumerated [Enderton] |
| 9723 | Sentences with 'if' are only conditionals if they can read as A-implies-B [Enderton] |
| 23529 | Conduct is not isolated from its effect on the moral code [Hart,HLA] |
| 7903 | The six perfections are giving, morality, patience, vigour, meditation, and wisdom [Nagarjuna] |
| 23530 | The great danger of democracy is that the oppression of the minority becomes unobjectionable [Hart,HLA] |
| 23522 | In an organised society all actions have some effect on other people [Hart,HLA] |
| 23528 | The value of liberty allows freedom of action, even if that distresses other people [Hart,HLA] |
| 23523 | The principle of legality requires crimes to be precisely defined in advance of any action [Hart,HLA] |
| 23524 | Some private moral issues are no concern of the law [Hart,HLA] |
| 23521 | Do morals influence law? Is morality an aspect of law? Can law be morally criticised? [Hart,HLA] |
| 23525 | Is the enforcement of morality morally justifiable? [Hart,HLA] |
| 23526 | Modern law still suppresses practices seen as immoral, and yet harmless [Hart,HLA] |
| 23527 | Moral wickedness of an offence is always relevant to the degree of punishment [Hart,HLA] |
