Syntax Definition wn 3
Description: If 𝜑 is a wff, so is ¬ 𝜑 or "not 𝜑". Part of the recursive definition of a wff (well-formed formula). Traditionally, Greek letters are used to represent wffs, and we follow this convention. In propositional calculus, we define only wffs built up from other wffs, i.e., there is no starting or "atomic" wff. Later, in predicate calculus, we will extend the basic wff definition by including atomic wffs (weq 1490 and wel 2136).
Hypothesis

wph wff 𝜑
