Oy.

Take the logical proposition:

As GF points out, it's not an especially logical proposition. What
would a non-logical proposition look like?

John loves Mary

Here, John and Mary are distinguished by the function 'loves'. 'Loves'
distinguishes John and Mary.

Again, as GF says, "loves" is not a function.

Ironically, the real Frege would say that loves is a function.

I'm surprised to hear that! How so?
