Goedelizability and decidability of a property of Peano formulas
Sorry for not knowing the answers to these elementary questions:
Is the property of formulas of the first-order language of Peano arithmetic of "defining a finite set of natural numbers" goedelizable …

Deficiency of necessary conditions
Motivation
Consider the situation: You know that
every $x$ that has property $P$ must have property $Q$. $Q$ is a
rather strong condition but not strong
enough to fulfill $P$. What is mi …

Categories of logical formulae
Consider the set of formulas of a logic. If there was only one sort of "unary" deduction $\phi \Rightarrow \psi$ - like $(\forall x)\phi(x) \Rightarrow \phi(a)$ - we would immediately have a category …

Naturally definable sets of natural numbers (2): Can the circle be broken?
(follow-up to: Naturally definable sets of natural numbers)
Every formula $\Psi(x)$ in the first-order language of Peano arithmetic defines a set of natural numbers. Some of these sets are finite, ot …

Formulaic definitions
In Jech's Set Theory, p. 194, I read - as a comment on the definition of ordinal-definable sets ("A set X is ordinal-definable if there is a formula such that [...]") -:
It is not immediate clear …

A question on definable categories
One way to define a category set-theoretically might be to give four $\in$-formulas (not sets!)
$$\begin{array}{rl}
\mathsf{O}(X)&\text{(“$X$ is an object”)}\\
\mathsf{M}(X,Y,z)&\text{(“$z$ is a morp …

Natural constructions (not depending on parameters) [closed]
Consider graph clusterings as a prototypical example of (logical) constructions.
Let a clustering of a graph $(V,E)$ be any covering of $V$, i.e. a set $C$ with $\bigcup C = V$.
I am looking for a …

Condition of possibility = Co-Implication
Sorry, but I do not know another place to post this question.
Condition of possibility is an important philosophical concept. Naively, this concept could be formally defined this way:
$q$ is a c …
