As always, it is frequently convenient to omit a few of the finer markings of distinctions among isomorphic structures, so long as one is aware of their presence and knows when it is crucial to call upon them again.

Previously I introduced a calculus for propositional logic, fixing its meaning according to what C.S.&nbsp;Peirce called the ''existential interpretation''.  As far as it concerns propositional calculus this interpretation settles the meanings that are associated with merely the most basic symbols and logical connectives.  Now we must extend and refine the existential interpretation to comprehend the analysis of ''quantifications'', that is, quantified propositions.  In doing so we recognize two additional aspects of logic that need to be developed, over and above the material of propositional logic.  At the formal extreme there is the aspect of higher order functional types, into which we have already ventured a little above.  At the level of the fundamental content of the available propositions we have to introduce a different interpretation for what we may call ''elemental'' or ''singular'' propositions.
