We will need to add a new phrase to the grammar, the completeness phrase, TODO describe the completeness operators. However, it will usually have a null head, the incompleteness operator (which I'm pretty sure just does nothing?). | We will need to add a new phrase to the grammar, the completeness phrase, which will have a <math>\Sigma</math> phrase as its complement, and a completeness operator as its head.

We'll probably want prefixes that apply to quantifiers and apply one of the following to the result of applying the quantifier (in other words, applying them outside the quantifier): <math>!</math>, <math>;</math>, <math>?</math>, <math>?!</math>. | We'll probably want prefixes that apply to quantifiers and apply one of the following to the result of applying the quantifier (in other words, applying them outside the quantifier): <math>!</math>, <math>;</math>, <math>?</math>, <math>?!</math>. | ||
