inexpressibility , auch: inexpressibleness

Other widely used techniques for proving inexpressibility results, such as the compactness theorem, do not work in finite models.

Indeed, Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games provide a complete methodology for proving inexpressibility results for first-order logic.

The main application of Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games is in proving the inexpressibility of certain properties in first-order logic.

Another famous result that he proved is that first-order logic has a zero-one law, a tool for proving inexpressibility results for database query languages.

It is a phrase meant to convey the inexpressibility of Brahman in words and the futility of trying to approximate Brahman with conceptual models.

The device usually seems to work in a paradoxical fashion, pointing both at the 'inexpressibility' of what the prose is gesturing towards, and borrowing some of photography's apparently concrete realism.

Phokion Kolaitis' slides and Neil Immerman's book chapter on Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé games discuss applications in computer science, the methodology theorem for proving inexpressibility results, and several simple inexpressibility proofs using this methodology.
