The forms commonly viewed as quantified propositions may be viewed again as propositions about propositions, indeed, there is every reason to regard higher order propositions as the genus of quantification under which the more familiar species appear.

<p>A child hears it said that the stove is hot.  But it is not, he says;  and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold.  But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way.  Thus, he becomes aware of ignorance, and it is necessary to suppose a ''self'' in which this ignorance can inhere. &hellip;</p>
  
Let us return to the 2-dimensional case <math>X^\circ = \left[ u, v \right]<math>.  In order to provide a bridge between propositions and quantifications it serves to define a set of qualifiers <math>\ell_{ij} : (\mathbb{B}^2 \to \mathbb{B}) \to \mathbb{B}<math> that have the following characters:

Intuitively, the <math>\ell_{ij}<math> operators may be thought of as qualifying propositions according to the elements of the universe of discourse that each proposition positively values.  Taken together, these measures provide us with the means to express many useful observations about the propositions in <math>X^\circ = \left[ u, v \right]<math>, and so they mediate a subtext <math>\left[ \ell_{00}, \ell_{01}, \ell_{10}, \ell_{11} \right]<math> that takes place within the higher order universe of discourse <math>X^{\circ 2} = \left[ X^\circ \right] = \left[\left[ u, v \right]\right]<math>.  Figure&nbsp;6 summarizes the action of the <math>\ell_{ij}<math> operators on the <math>f_{i}<math> within <math>X^{\circ 2}<math>.

===Application of Higher Order Propositions to Quantification Theory===
 
 
 
<pre>
 
Our excursion into the vastening landscape of higher order propositions has finally come round to the stage where we can bring its returns to bear on opening up new perspectives for quantificational logic.
 
 
 
It's hard to tell if it makes any difference from a purely formal point of view, but it serves intuition to devise a slightly different interpretation for the two-valued space that we use as the target of our basic indicator functions.  Therefore, let us declare the type of _existential-valued functions_ <math>f : \mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{E}<math>, where <math>\mathbb{E} = \{ -e, +e \} = \{ \operatorname{empty}, \operatorname{exist} \}<math> is a pair of values that indicate whether or not anything exists in the cells of the underlying universe of discourse.  As usual, let's not be too fussy about the coding of these functions, reverting to binary codes whenever the intended interpretation is clear enough.
 
 
 
With these qualifications in mind we note the following correspondences between classical quantifications and higher order indicator functions:

==Appendix : Generalized Umpire Operators==
 
 
 
In order to get a handle on the space of higher order propositions and eventually to carry out a functional approach to quantification theory, it serves to construct some specialized tools.  Specifically, I define a higher order operator <math>\Upsilon,</math> called the ''umpire operator'', which takes up to three propositions as arguments and returns a single truth value as the result.  Formally, this so-called ''[[multigrade operator|multigrade]]'' property of <math>\Upsilon</math> can be expressed as a union of function types, in the following manner:
 
 
 
{| align="center" cellpadding="8" style="text-align:center"
 
| <math>\Upsilon : \bigcup_{\ell = 1, 2, 3} ((\mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B})^\ell \to \mathbb{B}).</math>
 
|}
 
 
 
In contexts of application the intended sense can be discerned by the number of arguments that actually appear in the argument list.  Often, the first and last arguments appear as indices, the one in the middle being treated as the main argument while the other two arguments serve to modify the sense of the operation in question. Thus, we have the following forms:
 
 
 
{| align="center" cellpadding="8" style="text-align:center"
 
| <math>\Upsilon_p^r q  =  \Upsilon (p, q, r)</math>
 
|-
 
| <math>\Upsilon_p^r : (\mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}) \to \mathbb{B}</math>
 
|}
 
 
 
The intention of this operator is that we evaluate the proposition <math>q</math> on each model of the proposition <math>p</math> and combine the results according to the method indicated by the connective parameter <math>r.</math>  In principle, the index <math>r</math> might specify any connective on as many as <math>2^k</math> arguments, but usually we have in mind a much simpler form of combination, most often either collective products or collective sums.  By convention, each of the accessory indices <math>p, r</math> is assigned a default value that is understood to be in force when the corresponding argument place is left blank, specifically, the constant proposition <math>1 : \mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}</math> for the lower index <math>p,</math> and the continued conjunction or continued product operation <math>\textstyle\prod</math> for the upper index <math>r.</math>  Taking the upper default value gives license to the following readings:
 
 
 
{| align="center" cellpadding="8" style="text-align:center"
 
| <math>\Upsilon_p (q) = \Upsilon (p, q) = \Upsilon (p, q, \textstyle\prod).</math>
 
 
|-
 
|-
| <math>\Upsilon_p = \Upsilon (p, \underline{~~}, \textstyle\prod) : (\mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}) \to \mathbb{B}.</math>
+
| align="right" | (Peirce, CP 5.233&ndash;235)
 
|}
 
|}
 
This means that <math>\Upsilon_p (q) = 1</math> if and only if <math>q</math> holds for all models of <math>p.</math>  In propositional terms, this is tantamount to the assertion that <math>p \Rightarrow q,</math> or that <math>\texttt{(} p \texttt{(} q \texttt{))} = 1.</math>
 
 
Throwing in the lower default value permits the following abbreviations:
 
 
{| align="center" cellpadding="8" style="text-align:center"
 
| <math>\Upsilon  q  = \Upsilon (q) = \Upsilon_1 (q) = \Upsilon (1, q, \textstyle\prod).</math>
 
|-
 
| <math>\Upsilon = \Upsilon (1, \underline{~~}, \textstyle\prod)) : (\mathbb{B}^k\ \to \mathbb{B}) \to \mathbb{B}.</math>
 
|}
 
 
This means that <math>\Upsilon q = 1</math> if and only if <math>q</math> holds for the whole universe of discourse in question, that is, if and only <math>q</math> is the constantly true proposition <math>1 : \mathbb{B}^k \to \mathbb{B}.</math>  The ambiguities of this usage are not a problem so long as we distinguish the context of definition from the context of application and restrict all shorthand notations to the latter.

Test Area

A child hears it said that the stove is hot. But it is not, he says; and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold. But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way. Thus, he becomes aware of ignorance, and it is necessary to suppose a self in which this ignorance can inhere. …

In short, error appears, and it can be explained only by supposing a self which is fallible.

Ignorance and error are all that distinguish our private selves from the absolute ego of pure apperception.

(Peirce, CP 5.233–235)
