Corporate sole v corporate soul

Ronda, Italy: Window 10

LANGER, SUSANNE K (1953)(1967) An Introduction to Symbolic Logic, Dover Publications, New York.

A unit class is a class which only has one member in it. (119). In symbolic logic, class, as in unit class, is not 'individuals in a group.' (119). Class offers no process of collecting individuals. (119). A propositional form might only have a single application. (119). Its variable might only have a single value for a proposition. (119).

A committee of one is a unit class. (120). This is true, even as the committee only has one member. Another author provided example is that of 'corporate sole.' (120). A corporation sole is a legal entity consisting of a single incorporated office. A sole.

Author's propositional example:

(∃x) : ε  A (120).

There exists x: x is/a A.

ε is epsilon from the Greek alphabet meaning is, a. This ε symbol, according to Langer is specifically meant as a symbol for is, a, in contrast with any symbol for is.

The city-states of Greece are used as an example. (121).

ε city-state of Greece. (121).

The city-states of Greece refers to all members of the class of city-states of Greece. (121). Therefore, it can be propositionally presented as city-state of Greece.

My examples:

A=Athens
S=Sparta
G=City-state of Greece.

A ε G

Athens is a city-state of Greece.

S ε G

Sparta is a city-state of Greece.

Ancient Greece in context.

A ∃ G

Athens exists as a city-state of Greece.

A ∃ G ⊃ S ∃ G

Athens exists as a city-state of Greece the same as Sparta exists as a city-state of Greece.

⊃=Same as.

Theologically, corporate sole is not to be confused with any concept of corporate soul. A human being has one soul (Genesis 2: 7). Those in Jesus Christ, through his death and resurrection and their justification and sanctification, being indwelt with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would divinely influence and sanctify human beings; the infinite Holy Spirit, influencing and sanctifying the finite human spirit. Demonic possession or harassment would consist of the finite demonic spirit influencing the finite human spirit.

There is not a ontological fusion of soul or spirit as in a finite human soul or spirit becoming divine.
