-This means that is we know that $x=y$, then if $Q(x,x)$ is true, then so must be $Q(x,y)$.+This means that if we know that $x=y$, then if $Q(x,x)$ is true, then so must be $Q(x,y)$.

 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.
