→Mathematical formalism
Intuitively, a predicate is a sentence concerning a group of elements (which in our medical case will be the patients) and which states something about them.

{{q4|Then poor Mary Poppins is a TMD patient or she is not !!|let's see what Classical Language Logic tells us}}
In addition to the confirmations derived from the logic of medical language discussed in the previous chapter, the dentist colleague acquires other instrumental data that allow him to confirm his diagnosis. The latter tests concern the analysis of the axiographic traces performed with a paraocclusal fork which allow the visualization and quantification of the condylar traces in masticatory functions. As can be seen from Figure 4 the flattening of the condylar traces on the right side both in the mediotrusive masticatory kinetics (green colour) and the opening and protrusion cycles (gray colour) confirm the anatomical and functional flattening of the right TMJ in the dynamics chewing. In addition to the axiography, the colleague performs a surface electromyography on the masseters (Fig. 6) asking the patient to tighten to the maximum of his muscles force. This type of electromyographic analysis is called "EMG Interferential Pattern" due to the high frequency content of the spikes that undergo phase interference. In fact, Figure 6 shows the result of the test and shows an asymmetry in the recruitment of the motor units of the right masseter (upper trace) compared to those of the left masseter (lower trace).<ref>T Castroflorio , F Talpone, A Deregibus, M G Piancino, P Bracco.

Saying from the perspective of observation of this type, the Logic of Predicates can only fortify the dentist’s reasoning and, at the same time, strengthen the <u>principle of the excluded third</u> is strengthened through the compatibility of the additional assertions <math>(a_1,a_2,.....a_n)</math>which give the dentist the complete coherence in the diagnosis and in confirming the sentence <math>\Im</math>: Poor Mary Poppins either has TMD or she has not (for everything A can be either B or not B, no other state of truth is possible).
