A101248 Decimal Goedelization of contingent WFFs (well-formed formulae) from propositional calculus, in Richard Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273. Truth value depends on truth value of variables, but is neither always true (theorem)nor always false (antitheorem). +0

COMMENT

Blocks of 1's and 2s are variables: A = 1, B = 2, C = 11, D = 12, E = 21, ... Not (also written -) = 3; And = 4; Xor = 5; Or = 6; Implies = 7; Equiv = 8; Left Parenthesis = 9; Right Parenthesis = 0. Operator binding strength is in numerical order, Not > And > ... > Equiv. The non-associative "Implies" is evaluated from Left to Right; A->B->C = is interpreted (A->B)->C. Redundant parentheses are permitted, so long as they are balanced, and centered on a valid variable or sentential formula, and not on the null character. Besides A101273 (theorems = tautologies), A100200 (antitheorems = always false WFFs) there can also be the subsequence of theorems that can be proved within the more restricted Intuitionistic logic; this sequence of well-formed formulae whose truth value is contingent on the truth values of their variables; and many others. As with A101273, I conjecture that a power law approximates the number of integers in this sequence, where the number with N digits is approximately N to the power of some real number D. The union of A101273, A100200, and this sequence is the set of all WFFs in Richard Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273.

Warning: there may be errors - see comment in A100200.
