Contrary to that, representations in our sense are independently defined linguistic concepts Again, our representations also relate the theorems of the considered theories in a specific way. In section 3 representations of first-order languages and related concepts are defined and ./cache/work_lwzqyl36h5aqlcjgfhojw5x6ma.pdf ./txt/work_lwzqyl36h5aqlcjgfhojw5x6ma.txt
