Categorical abstract algebraic logic: The Diagram and the Reduction Operator Lemmas

The study of structure systems, an abstraction of the concept of first-order structures, is continued. Structure systems have algebraic systems as their algebraic reducts and their relational component consists of a collection of relation systems on the underlying functors. An analog of the expansion of a first-order structure by constants is presented. Furthermore, analogs of the Diagram Lemma and the Reduction Operator Lemma from the theory of equality-free first-order structures are provided in the framework of structure systems.
