List update

Philip Meguire, 22.10.05: I have rewritten this at some length. To understand my interest on this topic, see the references to Laws of Form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.181.160.61 (talk) 07:03, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"carrier"

Where does this "carrier" terminology come from? The standard term would be "universe", if you're thinking of a BA as a model of a theory. If it's Laws of Form stuff, I'm not too excited about keeping that around. --Trovatore 16:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Carrier" is relatively standard terminology. [1] [2] I don't know if it is
Personally I like it because it's short and descriptive. "Underlying set" is similarly descriptive, but a bit too clumsy to be used all the time. "Universe" is also short and descriptive, but descriptive in the wrong way. It comes with connotations of something huge that cannot be changed. --Hans Adler (talk) 07:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Full stop as a notation for ∧

I suppose that somebody used . just because of inability to input the middle dot · (TeX: ) character, which is used sometimes as a multiplication sign. May I replace full stops with middle dots? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
