Meaning here: The expression reads open angle bracket the interpretation of d sub one in structure M comma and so on comma the interpretation of d sub n in structure M close angle bracket is an element of the interpretation of R in structure M. The superscripted notation denotes the interpretation assigned to an object-language symbol by the structure.
Conventional reading: the domain of structure M equals open brace one comma two comma three close brace
Meaning here: The expression reads the domain of structure M equals open brace one comma two comma three close brace. The fraktur letter names a first-order structure, and its domain is the nonempty collection over which its variables range.
Meaning here: The expression reads n equals one. The equality identifies the two displayed values, assignments, interpretations, or expressions in the surrounding semantic argument.
Conventional reading: structure M satisfies for every x, there exists y, A open parenthesis x comma y close parenthesis
Meaning here: The expression reads structure M satisfies for every x, there exists y, A open parenthesis x comma y close parenthesis. This is a first-order satisfaction claim in the displayed structure and assignment context.
Meaning here: The expression reads t equals x sub i. The equality identifies the two displayed values, assignments, interpretations, or expressions in the surrounding semantic argument.
Conventional reading: m is an element of the domain of structure M
Meaning here: The expression reads m is an element of the domain of structure M. The fraktur letter names a first-order structure, and its domain is the nonempty collection over which its variables range.
