For the sake of future reference, it is convenient to refer to this restriction on intermediate symbols as the ''intermediate significance'' constraint.  It can be stated in a compact form as a condition on the relations between non-terminal symbols <math>q \in \{ \, ^{\backprime\backprime} S ^{\prime\prime} \, \} \cup \mathfrak{Q}</math> and sentential forms <math>W \in \{ \, ^{\backprime\backprime} S ^{\prime\prime} \, \} \cup (\mathfrak{Q} \cup \mathfrak{A})^*.</math>
