2. Substitution (logic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_(logic)

   A substitution is called a ground substitution if it maps all variables of its domain to ground, i.e. variable-free, terms. The substitution instance tσ of a ground substitution is a ground term if all of t ' s variables are in σ ' s domain, i.e. if vars ( t ) ⊆ dom ( σ ).

3. Sentence (mathematical logic) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(mathematical_logic)

   Sentences are then built up out of atomic sentences by applying connectives and quantifiers. A set of sentences is called a theory; thus, individual sentences may be called theorems. To properly evaluate the truth (or falsehood) of a sentence, one must make reference to an interpretation of the theory.

4. Propositional calculus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_calculus

   Propositional logic, as currently studied in universities, is a specification of a standard of logical consequence in which only the meanings of propositional connectives are considered in evaluating the conditions for the truth of a sentence, or whether a sentence logically follows from some other sentence or group of sentences.

5. Free variables and bound variables - Wikipedia

   For example, consider the following expression in which both variables are bound by logical quantifiers: ∀ y ∃ x ( x = y ) . {\displaystyle \forall y\,\exists x\,\left(x={\sqrt {y}}\right).} This expression evaluates to false if the domain of x {\displaystyle x} and y {\displaystyle y} is the real numbers, but true if the domain is the ...

6. Logical connective - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_connective

   A less trivial example of a redundancy is the classical equivalence between and . Therefore, a classical-based logical system does not need the conditional operator " → {\displaystyle \to } " if " ¬ {\displaystyle \neg } " (not) and " ∨ {\displaystyle \vee } " (or) are already in use, or may use the " → {\displaystyle \to } " only as a ...

7. Well-formed formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-formed_formula

   A closed formula, also ground formula or sentence, is a formula in which there are no free occurrences of any variable. If A is a formula of a first-order language in which the variables v 1, …, v n have free occurrences, then A preceded by ∀v 1 ⋯ ∀v n is a universal closure of A.
