That is, the key to his program is that for every word in the dictionary and every sentence in the language there corresponds a unique predicate that is true of just the tokens of that word/that sentence.
This means that for any predicate of any order, there is a predicate of the first-order level which is equivalent to it.
When predicate \(X\) is an essential predicate of \(Y\) but also of other things, then \(X\) is a genus (genos) of \(Y\).
Sovereignty is a predicate of self-government.
In rare cases where there is only one unique predicate, PredScal defaults to a value of 1.

We can then treat look as a predicate modifier, so that look(happy) is a new predicate derived from the meaning of happy.
