Once again, it is convenient to represent the absolute term <math>\mathrm{b} = \text{black}\!</math> by means the corresponding idempotent rheme, <math>\mathrm{b,} = \text{black that is}\,\underline{~~~~}.</math> In this way it can be taken as a selective from the universe of discourse.
Once again, it is convenient to represent the absolute term <math>\mathrm{b} = \text{black}\!</math> by means the corresponding idempotent rheme, <math>\mathrm{b,} = \text{black that is}\,\underline{~~~~}.</math> In this way it can be taken as a selective from the universe of discourse.
Consider the bigraph for the composition:
{| align="center" cellspacing="6" width="90%"
| <math>\mathrm{m,}\mathrm{b} ~=~ \text{man that is black}</math>
|}
represented below in the equivalent form:
{| align="center" cellspacing="6" width="90%"
| <math>\mathrm{m,}\mathrm{b,} ~=~ \text{man that is black that is}\,\underline{~~~~}.</math>

{| align="center" cellspacing="6" width="90%"

Thus we observe one of the more factitious facts that hold in this universe of discourse, namely:
