Abstract

A set of physical theories is represented by a nonempty subset {SNjV|j} of the lattice of consequence operators defined on a language Λ. It is established that there exists a unifying injection 𝒮 defined on the nonempty set of significant representations for natural systems MΛ. If WM, then 𝒮W is a hyperfinite ultralogic and {SNjV(W)|j}=𝒮W(*W)Λ. A “product” hyperfinite ultralogic Π is defined on internal subsets of the product set *Λm and is shown to represent the application of 𝒮 to {W1,,Wm}M. There also exists a standard unifying injection SW such that 𝒮W(*W)*SW(*W).
