 There is a correspondence between a predicate $P$ over a class of objects and it's //​extension//​ $\{x\ |\ P(x)\}$. The latter is the collection of objects it describes. There is a correspondence between a predicate $P$ over a class of objects and it's //​extension//​ $\{x\ |\ P(x)\}$.

 We see that intensionally different definition can have the same extension. We see that intensionally different definition can have the same extension.
  
-Another remark: ​+== Canonical form, canonicity of formal systenms)== 
 We have $2(12+15)=2*3*4+2*3*5=3(8+10)$,​ and while $2(12+15)\mapsto 24+30$ and $3(8+10)\mapsto 24+30$ feel like natural reductions, $2(12+15)\mapsto 3(8+10)$ feels random. That is to say, there is a sort of computational direction that comes with a formulized evaluation. We have $2(12+15)=2*3*4+2*3*5=3(8+10)$,​ and while $2(12+15)\mapsto 24+30$ and $3(8+10)\mapsto 24+30$ feel like natural reductions, $2(12+15)\mapsto 3(8+10)$ feels random.
