migrated from Trac, where originally posted by lars_h on 31-May-2014 8:37pm Writing down the following example so that I don't forget it. In (single variable) complex analysis, the term analytic (function) may be defined as:
The point is, that whereas any particular development of complex analysis must choose one of these as the definition of analytic (and then prove the rest as theorems), there is not in the mathematics as such anything which says that one of them is the "proper" definition and the others just logical curiosities. Rather, they are all equivalent. Hence there is no need to single out one of them for a symbol that seeks to denote the concept in general. One image I'm thinking about is that maybe the graph of all definitions need not be a forest, but rather that it should be given with an edge-colouring where each colour class is acyclic. Colours then correspond to particular developments of mathematics. |

Allow specifiers on FMP, equivalent to the old DefMP proposal of Cohen et al.
See suggestions from JHD.
