 Formulas $T$ are the formulas that are closed formulas that are true in the structure $(\mathbb{Q},<)$ or rational numbers.
+**Example:**
+\[
+   \forall x. \exists y.\ x < y \ \land\ (\forall z. (x < z \rightarrow z=y \lor y < z)
+\]
+Is this formula true in dense linear orders? Is there a non-dense linear order where its truth value is different?

 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
