(∀x)¬Parent(x,x)∧(∃y)Parent(z,y)
In English:
There exists for all item values(x) that a parent of x is not x and there
exists for some item value(y) that a parent of z is y.
Model = {"Bob", "Sally", "Suzie"}
Language = {∀, ∃, ¬, ∧, x, y, z, Parent(value1,value2)}
Where:
∀ := there exists for all item values where the following statement is true
∃ := there exists for some item values where the following statement is true
¬ := logical "negation"
∧ := logical "and"
x := "Bob"
y := "Sally"
z := "Suzie"
Parent(value1,value2) := the value1 is a parent of the value2
Where the values of Parent(value1, value2) exist as:
Parent {
{"Bob", "Bob"} = False;
{"Sally", "Sally"} = False;
{"Suzie", "Suzie"} = False;
{"Bob", "Sally"} = True; {"Suzie", "Sally"} = True;
{"Sally", "Bob"} = False; {"Sally", "Suzie"} = False;
{"Suzie", "Bob"} = False; {"Bob", "Suzie"} = False;
}
A case in which the statement (∀x)¬Parent(x,x)∧(∃y)Parent(z,y) holds is:
(∀M xM) ¬M Parent(xM,xM)M ∧M (∃M yM) Parent(zM,yM)M
(∀"Bob") ¬ Parent("Bob","Bob") ∧ (∃"Sally") Parent("Suzie","Sally")
