Sep 1 at 14:37 comment added Harry Wilson Functioral is a typo of functorial.
Mar 19 at 23:34 comment added Paul I think you misunderstood the comment — no it wasn’t a typo
May 12, 2018 at 16:15 comment added Qfwfq @Doug Spoonwood: ok, so it was indeed just a typo. Tahkn yuo.
May 11, 2018 at 23:04 comment added Doug Spoonwood @Qfwfq A functorial variable is a variable for functions. For instance, we can talk about a unary functorial variable for the four Boolean functions of one variable. A. N. Prior wrote a section on functorial variables in Formal Logic p. 48-71.
May 9, 2018 at 11:16 comment added Qfwfq @Doug Spoonwood: "functioral"? (repeated 3 times in your comment: must have a meaning, not be just a typo??)
May 6, 2014 at 16:07 comment added Doug Spoonwood "A complete (and consitent) propositional logic can be defined in a number of ways, as I understand, which are all equivalent." There do exist many equivalent axiomizations of propositional logic. However, axiomiations of propositional logic which include functioral variables (as opposed to just propositional variables) or quantifiers qualify as richer than axiomizations you usually see in textbooks. A theorem which has functioral variables in it cannot get derived from a "standard" set of axioms, while there do exist functioral variable theorems than can deduce a standard axiom set.
