Assuming that sequences (unlike sets) can bite and be bitten, that would agree with my proposal about inner quantifiers, because then {ci} becomes an inner quantifier. But I'm not sure that sequences can bite other sequences. Maybe the members of the sequence? Are sequences like sets or does {vu'i} get at the members of a sequence? Jorge
