4.4 Extending P Classically

Minimal
Classical
Identity
The minimal classical system P+ is obtained by adding P10 to the postulates of P
P10 for allxfor somey(y ex X)
(Every haecceity is exemplified.)
Theorems of P+ include:
T42 for allx(x = x)
(Every particular is self-identical.)
T43# for allxy(for allz(x emb Zequivalenty emb Z)if-thenx = y)
(Indiscernible particulars are identical.)
T44 for allxfor somey(x = y)
(Every particular is classical.)
T45 for somexywz(x.Y = w.Z) 
(Some complex is classical.)
Strongly
Classical
Identity
The strongly classical system P++ is obtained by adding P10* to the postulates of P.
P10* for somexfor ally(y ex X)
(Some haecceity is such that every individual exemplifies it.)
Theorems of P++ include:
T47 for allxy(x.Y = x.Y)
(Every complex is self-identical.)
T29# for allwxyz(for allv(w.X emb Vequivalenty.Z emb V)if-thenw.X = y.Z)
(Indiscernible complexes are identical.)
T46 for allxyfor somewz(x.Y = w.Z)

(Every complex is classical.)
Weakly
Classical
Identity
The weakly classical system P+- is obtained by adding P10*' to the postulates of P+.
P10*' ¬for somexfor ally(y ex X)
(No haecceity is such that every individual exemplifies it.)
Theorems of P+- include:
T47' ¬for allxy(x.Y = x.Y)
(Not every complex is self-identical.)
T29'#  ¬for allwxyz(for allv(w.X emb Vequivalenty.Z emb V)if-thenw.X = y.Z)
(Not all indiscernible complexes are identical.)
T46' ¬for allxyfor somewz(x.Y = w.Z)

(Not every complex is classical.)
