→‎Grammar 2: currently using italics for non-terminal symbols
Line 791: Line 791:  
In this rendition, a string of type <math>T\!</math> is not in general a sentence itself but a proper ''part of speech'', that is, a strictly ''lesser'' component of a sentence in any suitable ordering of sentences and their components.  In order to see how the grammatical category <math>T\!</math> gets off the ground, that is, to detect its minimal strings and to discover how its ensuing generations get started from these, it is useful to observe that the covering rule <math>T :> S\!</math> means that <math>T\!</math> ''inherits'' all of the initial conditions of <math>S,\!</math> namely, <math>T \, :> \, \varepsilon, m_1, p_j.</math>  In accord with these simple beginnings it comes to parse that the rule <math>T \, :> \, T \, \cdot \, ^{\backprime\backprime} \operatorname{,} ^{\prime\prime} \, \cdot \, S,</math> with the substitutions <math>T = \varepsilon</math> and <math>S = \varepsilon</math> on the covered side of the rule, bears the germinal implication that <math>T \, :> \, ^{\backprime\backprime} \operatorname{,} ^{\prime\prime}.</math>

Grammar&nbsp;2 achieves a portion of its success through a higher degree of intermediate organization.  Roughly speaking, the level of organization can be seen as reflected in the cardinality of the intermediate alphabet <math>\mathfrak{Q} = \{ ^{\backprime\backprime} \operatorname{T} ^{\prime\prime} \}</math> but it is clearly not explained by this simple circumstance alone, since it is taken for granted that the intermediate symbols serve a purpose, a purpose that is easily recognizable but that may not be so easy to pin down and to specify exactly.  Nevertheless, it is worth the trouble of exploring this aspect of organization and this direction of development a little further.
