The theory of constructive types (principles of logic and mathematics). By Leon Chwistek.

Application to the construction of significant expressions. 0'43 If,, '/,, 0. are any compatible functional expressions or individual letters, and?) is any primitive, or fundamental letter absent from }, ',, 1, then: k{c}, k{:,}, A{.^~, r} and ),{L., ',, } are propositional expressions. E. g. the following expressions are propositional expressions. 9\X}?{, y}, p{x J,>,: x, {, Y, 2 X'} /{^}, /{x, y}, z, f' {xy, x,} o{x[h{x} } x, o z[,[ih{z}] },.{?[p( }] }. Subordinate expressions. 0'44 In any expression E, take for any elementary letters, any propositional expressions compatible one with another and with E. We get a subordinate expression E' 1). E. g. the following expressions are propositionaal expressions: ~-.~{g V - x [h{x x}]}.:4{1}}. - s~ h {r} f } V { [ 04] 1 ~ ~[\h{}1\{a} V~(?)Y-'.~{æ[J7{æ}] } \/jq {x[h{x}}j>.. ~.g{a} V (9)~ O-{g} V {-[{ (h{x}]}. [0-41 0.441 Given any propositional (or functional) expression E containing an individual (or primitive) real variable E, or a fundlamental real variable, determined by a functional expression H, take for C any individual (or primitive) letter absent in 'E or used in E as a real variable, and for 'q, any fundamental real variable absent in E, or determined by HI or any functional expression compatible with E and denoting a, function of the same type as the function denoted by H, We get a subordinate propositional (or functional) expression E', compatible with E. 2) E. g. if E is (?->)-.- {g}V {xlh{x])}., then E' eau. be: (r ) {x - h {x}]} V ( {x [h {x}]}. Derived expressions. 0'45 In any propositional expression l take for some elementary letters any propositional expressions compatible one with another and with E. We get a derived expression O/. 1) This direction corresponds to. 9'61'62'63:x 10'13 of Principia. 2) Directions 0'29'341 correspond to. 9'14 of Prinepia.
