+ | If we have three concrete values for $x,y,z$, what is the form of the strongest type of a formula that we could write about them in this language? //(atomic type formula)// | ||

+ | Theorem: every quantifier-free formula in a language with only relational symbols is a disjunction of atomic type formulas | ||
+ | * if we know the set $T$ of axioms, we may be able to show that the atomic type formulas have a simple form | ||
