typographically, the mathematical nature of such quantities. The nature of
the quantity will either be explicitly spelt out in the text, or it will be implied
by context.
The standard symbol set consists of the following symbols: a, b, c, d, e,
f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, A, B, C, D, E, F , G,
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, P , Q, R, S, T , U, V , W , X, Y , Z, α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η,
θ, ϑ, κ, λ, µ, ν, ξ, π, ρ, σ, τ, φ, ϕ, χ, ψ, ω, Γ , ∆, Θ , Λ, Ξ , Π , Σ , Υ , Φ, Ψ
and Ω .
It will be noted that all standard symbols are italicised. All typographical
modifications to the standard symbol set used in this thesis retain the
italicisation of the standard symbol part of the modified symbol.
A symbol is referred to as a collection symbol if it represents a collection
of quantities rather than a single quantity; these quantities are referred to as
being housed in the collection symbol. The act of typographically modifying
a collection symbol to denote the extraction of a quantity housed within it
is referred to as dereferencing the collection symbol.

Decommissioning and recommissioning
If a symbol, word or phrase is explicitly specified as decommissioned by the
author, then it is thenceforth deemed to be an invalid symbol, word or phrase
for the purposes of the remainder of this thesis, even if it would otherwise be
a valid construct according to the rules laid down in this appendix.
Decommissioned symbols, words or phrases may only be used for the purpose
of recommissioning. If a symbol, word or phrase is recommissioned by
the author, after having been previously decommissioned, then it is thenceforth
deemed to again be a valid construct.
If a phrase is recommissioned as nonmodifiable, then no typographical
symbols may appear in the interior of the phrase, apart from line-breaking
hyphenation marks. In particular, additional words may not be added be-
