− | Among the $2^{2^n}$ propositions in $[a_1, \ldots, a_n]$ are several families of $2^n$ propositions each that take on special forms with respect to the basis $\{ a_1, \ldots, a_n \}.$ | + | Among the $2^{2^n}$ propositions in $[a_1, \ldots, a_n]$ are several families of $2^n$ propositions each that take on special forms with respect to the basis $\{ a_1, \ldots, a_n \}.$ Three of these families are especially prominent in the present context, the \textit{singular}, the \textit{linear}, and the \textit{positive} propositions. Each family is naturally parameterized by the coordinate $n$-tuples in $\mathbb{B}^n$ and falls into $n + 1$ ranks, with a binomial coefficient $\binom{n}{k}$ giving the number of propositions that have rank or weight $k.$ |
