Abstract

Bressan’s communication at the 1971 International Congress for Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science (Bucharest) to be spoken of here, concerns the main results of Memoir 3 in Bressan’s book (1972). The same communication was essentially based on some results that were presented at the analogue of the above congress in 1964 (Jerusalem)1 and constitutes the main achievements of Memoir 1 (and some of Memoir 2) in Bressan (1972). Therefore here I shall first hint at Memoir 1 and 2 in Bressan (1972) briefly — cf. Sections 2–6 — and then at Memoir 3 in more detail. Of course, for a thorough treatment of the subject mentioned in the title and, more generally, for an extended theory on MC à and the language ML à on which MC à is based, the reader is advised to take Bressan (1972) into account.
