Proxy: A proxy is a function that maps the objects of one theory onto the objects of another theory, while preserving the truth values of all sentences. This means that we can substitute the objects of one theory for the objects of another theory without changing the truth values of any of our statements. See also Truth values, Functions, Sentences, Substitution, Expressions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Grover, D. L. on Proxy - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 326/327 Stand for/Camp, Grover, Belnap/CGB/(s): to stand for something is not the same as referring/reference. Reference: a proxy does not refer to the original! E.g. "you" is not used to refer to "Mary", but to Mary! E.g. >pronoun of laziness/Geach: the pronoun of laziness stands for its antecedent. E.g. Jane will go when they can afford it. But the grammatical category must not be changed. E.g. John visited us. It was a surprise. >Prosentential theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
