All:

One of my action items from the 10-NOV-2003 meeting was to
collect together the dependencies between my various proposals.

Here are the only absolute dependencies I see:

1. If you vote for property if-else, then you must vote for
   property conjunction and generalized implication.

2. If you vote for recursion, then you must vote for
   property instantiation and generalized implication

Here are recommendations that I made in the proposals because
I think the features are awkward or limited if certain combinations
are not available together.

4. If you vote for property negation and property conjunction,
   then you should vote for property disjuntion.

5. If you vote for property negation and property disjunction,
   then you should vote for property conjunction.

6. If you vote for any of property conjunction, disjunction,
   if-else, or negation, then you should vote for generalized
   implication.

7. If you vote for generalized implication, then you should
   vote for at least one of property conjunction, disjunction,
   if-else.

8. If you vote for generalized implication, especially together
   with property instantiation, and if you want to avoid
   complications regarding where the negation operator can appear,
   then you should vote for property negation.

Best regards,

John H.
