I'm afraid that entry isn't very accurate.
I'm afraid you are wrong.
Sigh. As (a) a native English speaker, and (b) a consultant for the
OED, I repeat: that entry on the subjunctive is indeed pretty poor.
About (b):
Let T be defined as a system in L("arithmetic") that has the naturals as
its model. That is an informal definition of T: because it's _subjected_
to you or me, e.g., to precisely _formally_ what the axioms of T be, after
the informal definition!
And that isn't even English.
All right: Peter goes for a _typo_ now!
Fyi., I was about to make the correction "_formally_ state what..."
but got side-tracked by something else; I was hoping for an understanding
from the readers that it's a typo. Apparently in your case, I had a wrong
expectation.
Sigh again. It wasn't the obvious typo that I was commenting on. It
was the complete misuse of "subjected"
.
