Lemma 1.3.1 L 33 ∪ L 32 ∪ L 31 ∪ L 30 is a sub-formula-closed subset <strong>of</strong> L 3 .<br />
Pro<strong>of</strong>: L 33 ∪ L 32 ∪ L 31 ∪ L 30 is built by means <strong>of</strong> logical connectives beginning with <strong>the</strong> atomic<br />
formulae.<br />

The above four algebras <strong>of</strong> boolean signature are now interconnected with operations related to<br />
variable substitution and existential quantifiers.<br />
Definition L crc<br />
3 = (L 33 , L 32 , L 31 , L 30 , r ∗ |, p ∗ |, s ∗ |, ∃ 0 |, ∃ 1 |, ∃ 2 |) where<br />
r ∗ |, p ∗ |, s ∗ | are <strong>the</strong> restrictions <strong>of</strong> r ∗ , p ∗ , s ∗ to L 33 .<br />
∃ 2 | is <strong>the</strong> restriction <strong>of</strong> ∃ 2 to L 33 , making it an element <strong>of</strong> L 33 → L 32<br />
∃ 1 | is <strong>the</strong> restriction <strong>of</strong> ∃ 1 to L 32 , making it an element <strong>of</strong> L 32 → L 31<br />
∃ 0 | is <strong>the</strong> restriction <strong>of</strong> ∃ 0 to L 31 , making it an element <strong>of</strong> L 31 → L 30<br />
Proposition 1.3.2 The sort L 30 <strong>of</strong> L crc<br />
3 is a conservative reduction class.<br />
Pro<strong>of</strong>: We prove that L 30 contains <strong>the</strong> sentences <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> form ∀ 0 ∃ 1 ∀ 2 φ where φ is open. This class<br />
<strong>of</strong> sentences contains <strong>the</strong> reduction class <strong>of</strong> Kahr, More and Wang, which turned out to be conservative<br />
by results <strong>of</strong> Berger, Gurevich and Koriakov. For ∀ 0 ∃ 1 ∀ 2 φ is by definition ¬∃ 0 ¬∃ 1 ¬∃ 2 ¬φ.<br />
As long as φ is open ¬φ ∈ L 33 ,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n ¬∃ 2 ¬φ ∈ L 32 ,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n ¬∃ 1 ¬∃ 2 ¬φ ∈ L 31 ,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n ¬∃ 0 ¬∃ 1 ¬∃ 2 ¬φ ∈ L 30 .<br />
The following is virtually <strong>the</strong> same as above but works for <strong>the</strong> conservative reduction class <strong>of</strong> Büchi.<br />
Corollary 1.3.3 The sort L 30 <strong>of</strong> L crc<br />
3 has every conjunction <strong>of</strong> prenex sentences in L 3 as an element.<br />
Pro<strong>of</strong>: It can be proven as above that every sentence Q 0 Q 1 Q 2 φ where φ is open is in L 30 . The<br />
corollary <strong>the</strong>n follows since L 30 has boolean signature and thus has conjunctions.<br />

1.3.3 Directed many-sorted polyadic set algebras<br />
We have seen how to turn a substantial fragment <strong>of</strong> first-order language into an algebra <strong>of</strong> directed<br />
many-sorted polyadic signature. Here we define <strong>the</strong> algebras that are <strong>the</strong> core <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> present paper<br />
and <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> each disprover deviced. These algebras turn out to be finite if <strong>the</strong>y are finitely<br />
generated.<br />
Definition An algebra A is a dMsPs 3 (directed many-sorted polyadic set algebra <strong>of</strong> dimension 3)<br />
if it is a C-sub algebra <strong>of</strong> directed many-sorted polyadic signature where C is a Ps 3 .<br />
