Blocks of 1's and 2s are variables: A = 1, B = 2, C = 11, D = 12, E = 21, ... Not (also written -) = 3; And = 4; Xor = 5; Or = 6; Implies = 7; Equiv = 8; Left Parenthesis = 9; Right Parenthesis = 0. Operator binding strength is in numerical order, Not > And > ... > Equiv. The non-associative "Implies" is evaluated from Left to Right; A->B->C = is interpreted (A->B)->C. Redundant parentheses are permitted, so long as they are balanced and centered on a valid variable or sentential formula and not on the null character.
Besides A101273, there can also be the subsequence of theorems that can be proved within the more restricted Intuitionist logic; the sequence of well-formed formulas whose truth value is contingent on the truth values of their variables; and many others. As with A101273, I conjecture that a power law approximates the number of integers in this sequence, where the number with N digits is approximately N to the power of some real number D.
Comment from Ed Brims (ejbrims(AT)hotmail.com), Aug 18 2008: Quite interestingly, this sequence is quoted (in its original incorrect form) in the novel "The End of Mr Y" by Scarlett Thomas, towards the end of Chapter 12.

Examples

			1431 corresponds to the sentence which violates the Law of the Excluded Middle: A ^ -A.
33252 corresponds to the sentence, with square brackets being implicit parentheses, [ --B ] xor B.
118311 corresponds to this sentence asserting the equivalence of the 3rd variable with its negation, C = -C.

A101248 Decimal Goedelization of contingent WFFs (well-formed formulas) from propositional calculus, in Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273. Truth value depends on truth value of variables, but is neither always true (theorem) nor always false (antitheorem).

As with A101273, I conjecture that a power law approximates the number of integers in this sequence, where the number with N digits is approximately N to the power of some real number D. The union of A101273, A100200 and this sequence is the set of all WFFs in Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory of A101273.

Jonathan Vos Post conjectures that a(n) is approximately D^n for some real number D.

Examples

			The first five theorems in A101273 are 171 ("A->A"), 181 ("A=A"), 272 ("B->B"), 282 ("B=B"), and 1531 ("A xor -A"), so a(1) = 0, a(2) = 0, and a(3) = 4.

The characters of zeroth-order logic include the tilde (~), ampersand (&), wedge (∨), horseshoe (⊃), triple bar (≡), left and right parentheses, and variables (upper-case letters with or without subscripts.) However, since the set of upper-case letters with or without subscripts is infinitely large, it is then, for the sentences of zeroth-order logic containing k variables, restricted to the set {A1, ..., Ak}, with an additional restriction as follows: a sentence may only contain Ai iff it contains every Aj for j=1..i-1 (this gives a total of A000670(k-1) legal permutations for a sentence containing k variables.)
The rules for a well-formed formula (wff) of zeroth-order logic are defined recursively as follows (see M. Bergmann et al.):
1. Every variable is a wff.
2. If P is a wff, then so is ~P.
3. If P and Q are wffs, then so is (PxQ), where 'x' is any binary logical operator.
It is also customary to remove the outermost parentheses of a sentence.

Examples

			a(4) = 25, since the number of sentences of zeroth-order logic containing four characters are as follows: ~~~A, ~AxA, Ax~A, ~AxB, Bx~A, ~BxA, and Ax~B, where 'x' is any of the four binary logical operators.

Axioms of Heyting (1930) as explained in Mark van Atten (2008). The same notation as in A101273, including: Blocks of 1's and 2s are variables: A = 1, B = 2, C = 11, D = 12, E = 21, ... Not (also written -) = 3; And = 4; Xor = 5; Or = 6; Implies = 7; Equiv = 8; Left Parenthesis = 9; Right Parenthesis = 0. Operator binding strength is in numerical order, Not > And > ... > Equiv. The hard thing, given errors in my related earlier submissions within Richard C. Schroeppel's metatheory, is to list in numerical order the theorems that can be proved from these 11 axioms.

Examples

			axiom 1: A->(A^A).
axiom 2: (A^B)->(B^A).
axiom 3: (A->B)->((A^C)->(B^C)).
axiom 4: ((A->B)^(B->C))->(A->C).
axiom 5: B->(A->B).
axiom 6: (A^(A->B))->B.
axiom 7: A->(AvB).
axiom 8: (AvB)->(BvA).
axiom 9: ((A->C)^(B->C))->((AvB)->C).
axiom 10: -A->(A->B).
axiom 11: ((A->B)^(A->-B))->-A.
