[FOM] Qustion About Church

[Francisco Gomes Martins]

Church means just mathematical expressions where coreferentiality is the
same as having the same denotation, which does not hold for empirical
expressions. And of course one must distinguish between empirical and
non-empirical expressions.

I recommend the reading of Pavel Tichy´s main tenet: the *constructions*,
where constants are provided representing every object in each typed used.
There is no such *open question* any longer.
