between the logical values {false, true} and the algebraic values {0, 1}.

This makes it legitimate to write a sentence directly into the right side

of the set-builder expression, for instance, weaving the sentence S or the
  −
sentence "x is not equal to y" into the context "{<x, y> in %B%^2 : ... }",

thereby obtaining the corresponding expressions listed above, while the

proposition F(x, y) can also be asserted more directly without equating

it to %1%, since it already has a value in {false, true}, and thus can

be taken as tantamount to an actual sentence.

If the appropriate safeguards can be kept in mind, avoiding all danger of confusing propositions with sentences and sentences with assertions, then the marks of these distinctions need not be forced to clutter the account of the more substantive indications, that is, the ones that really matter. If this level of understanding can be achieved, then it may be possible to relax these restrictions, along with the absolute dichotomy between algebraic and logical values, which tends to inhibit the flexibility of interpretation.
