 We will now consider certain results in the logic of amcons which were

 our present axiomization produces the same results. We will express the 
 results in our latest notation as far as possible. Two more definitions are

-"whether the admissibility of » [M, S] implies the admissibility of y[C,, S}" 
+"whether the admissibility of $\varphi[M,S]$ implies the admissibility of $\varphi[C_1,S]$" 
 drop out. The reason for the omission in the present theory is our choice of 
 parameters and domains, which we discussed earlier. Our present version is

 and it does not represent any outright falsification of our intuitions. Thus, 
 we pass over the deficiency.
