A Theory of Untyped Structured Propositions
Abstract: I put forward a semantic theory of untyped propositions satisfying the equivalence schema. Propositions are well-founded (in a sense to be specified) but are also allowed to exhibit a non-vicious kind of self-reference. Moreover, they satisfy a fine-grained identity criterion closed under certain (but not all) logical transformations that preserves many shared intuitions.
