Structure/sentence structure/Field: is useful to give a semantics of indefinite expressions: Structure m for a sentence is a function that maps each name or mass term of the sentence to an object or quantity, and each predicate to a set.
>Mapping, >Analysis, >Structures, >Singular terms, >General terms, >Predicates, >Predication, >Attribution, cf. >Quantification.
Structure m corresponds to the sentence if any name, any mass term and each predicate partially denotes the thing, m attributes to it.
>Partial denotation.
Definition of truth by structure-truth:
E.g. mass: both times regardless of the reference frame, but
once relativistic mass,
once dead weight.
Then the proposition that mass is independent of the reference frame is once true, once false.
