I tend to think of "well formed formula" as having the same form as a (true) proposition, but being either true or false (or perhaps undecidable).

I could be wrong here. A wff might have the same form as a predicate, not as a proposition. I'm hazy on the formalism. Received on Tue Jul 11 2006 - 07:31:05 CDT
