Predicate logic

Explicitly defines objects and relations among those objects. For example take the following sentence:

  • "Dan is taller than both his mothers, but they’re the same height.”

The objects:

  • Dan
  • M1 = Mother 1
  • M2 = Mother 2

The relations:

  • T(x, y) = "x is taller than y"

The predicate:

  • T(Dan, M1) \land T(Dan, M2) \land ¬\lnot T(M1, M2) \land ¬\lnot T(M2, M1)
