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

Nevertheless this theory cannot be taken textually from Prinm cipia, the following modifications being necessary: 10 We omit all verbal propositions, using our directions exclusively. 20 We use the expressions given above instead of those of Principia. 3 We use other definitions. 4~ Numbers. 9 and 12 of Principia are to be omitted. De/fi initions. 10-01 (r )- () - c'lJ 10-011 ('F U) =- () - The Whitehead-Russellia definition: (4 x)f {x} = (x) -f/{} is useless, because e. g. the expression (xL)f{x, y} has no meaning at all. We could as a natter of fact use the expression: (Hx)[f {z,y}] {x}, but here z[f{z,y}j{x} would not be treated as a functional pattern, no other operations than simple substitution being allowed in defined symbols For the same reason we cannot use the abbreviations 10'02'03 of Principia. 110:1 (x, ) =( ) (Y) dt 111)9, (x. q- z) (x) i; K) 11-021 (x, z, x) = x) (y) () (x') 11-03 (Ç x, y) = (3 x) (a y) 4f 11.04 (,x. y, z)=-( x, y) (i7z) df Analogous abbreviations are to be assumed for fundamental letters.
