 Note: there is no formula $F$ in this language ${\cal L} = \{edge\}$ that characterizes property "graph has no cycles"​. ​ All properties expressed in first-order logic on graphs are "​local"​. Intuitively,​ formula with $k$ universal quantifiers says that if we pick any set of $k$ vertices in the graph, then they (and their close neighbors) can induce only one of the finitely many specified subgraphs. Note: there is no formula $F$ in this language ${\cal L} = \{edge\}$ that characterizes property "graph has no cycles"​. ​ All properties expressed in first-order logic on graphs are "​local"​.
