ny total tutorial in predicate logic was reading
_The Laws of Form_ through to the middle
of the chapter with second-order equations;
it purports to be the unmentioned "arithmetic"
of boolean/predicate logic. I agree.
     of course, I've come across examples, before & since.
 
my point was taht the "time dimension" is simply ignored,
although it is naturally required, even to ennunciate the "paradox;"
the same applies to Lord Berty's Village Barber conundrum;
it's just a conundrum!
 
Aristotle is great for the syllogisms,
if nothing else. too bad large factions of the Church promoted him
for centuries (and still do).
