Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

Length(x) → PhysicalSize(x)

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘length’ then x is a ‘physical size’
