The difference between Frege's understanding of predication and the one manifested by the modern predicate calculus is simply this: in the modern predicate calculus, relations are taken as basic, and functions are defined as a special case of relation, namely, those relations R such that for any objects x, y, and z, if Rxy and Rxz, then y=z.
This notion takes as basic a notion of monadic probability for which countable additivity is a crucial axiom (countable additivity requires that the sum of the probabilities P Xi) of a countable family of events Xi with union X equals P X)).
We describe two alternative approaches below: apartness spaces, where the fundamental axioms capture the idea of subspaces being apart from one another, and point-free topology, where the notion of open sets and their mutual cover relations are taken as basics.
The poet was seen as an individual distinguished from his fellows by the intensity of his perceptions, taking as his basic subject matter the workings of his own mind.
