Extract

Acquaintance with [11] and [8] will be assumed. Let be the alphabet →, &, ν, ┐, (,), A1, A2, … where →(I), &(C), ν (D) and ┐(N) are called the connectives. The letters appearing in parentheses are the names of the connectives. A1, A2 … are the atoms.

Definition 1.1. A string S is an ICDN word iff there is a finite sequence of strings S1Sn = S such that for i, 1 ≤ i ≤ n, either S1 is an atom or S1 is one of the forms (S1→Sk), (S1 & Sk), (S1, ν Sk) or ┐S1,j, k ≤ i.
