A1 Either a property or its negation is positive, but not both: ∀φ[P (¬φ)↔ ¬P (φ)] A2 A property necessarily implied by a positive property is positive: ∀φ∀ψ[(P (φ) ∧ ∀x[φ(x)→ ψ(x)])→ P (ψ)] T1 Positive properties are possibly exemplified: ∀φ[P (φ)→ ♦∃xφ(x)] D1 A God-like being possesses all positive properties: G(x)↔ ∀φ[P (φ)→ φ(x)] A3 The property of being God-like is positive: P (G) C Possib...
