We are concerned with function forms in algebra. It’s just that you’re so used to the equality of different forms that y ...

Then φ follows from some finite number of sentences ψ1 , . . . , ψs ∈ T (by compactness). But each ψi holds almost surely among C, so φ holds almost surely among C. If, on the other hand, T ...

Proof Theory for Propositional Logic
