A101248 Decimal Goedelization of contingent WFFs (well-formed formulas) from propositional calculus, in Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273. Truth value depends on truth value of variables, but is neither always true (theorem) nor always false (antitheorem). 6

%N Decimal Goedelization of contingent WFFs (well-formed formulas) from propositional calculus, in Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273. Truth value depends on truth value of variables, but is neither always true (theorem) nor always false (antitheorem).

%C Blocks of 1's and 2s are variables: A = 1, B = 2, C = 11, D = 12, E = 21, ... Not (also written -) = 3; And = 4; Xor = 5; Or = 6; Implies = 7; Equiv = 8; Left Parenthesis = 9; Right Parenthesis = 0. Operator binding strength is in numerical order, Not > And > ... > Equiv. The non-associative "Implies" is evaluated from Left to Right; A->B->C = is interpreted (A->B)->C.

%C Redundant parentheses are permitted, so long as they are balanced and centered on a valid variable or sentential formula and not on the null character. Besides A101273 (theorems = tautologies), A100200 (antitheorems = always false WFFs) there can also be the subsequence of theorems that can be proved within the more restricted intuitionistic logic; this sequence of well-formed formulas whose truth value is contingent on the truth values of their variables; and many others.

%C As with A101273, I conjecture that a power law approximates the number of integers in this sequence, where the number with N digits is approximately N to the power of some real number D. The union of A101273, A100200 and this sequence is the set of all WFFs in Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273.
