A discussion of the introduction and elimination forms for higher-order logic is beyond the scope of this article.
It is possible to be in between first-order and higher-order logics.
The Lawvere programme was to write higher-order logic in terms of category theory.
There are two kinds of interpretations commonly employed for higher-order logic.
It is possible to produce sound deductive systems for higher-order logics, but no such system can be complete.
This is the first step towards creating a higher-order logic.
Other higher-order logics allow quantification over even higher types than second-order logic permits.
From 1996 the scope broadened to cover all theorem proving in higher-order logics.
Henkin's proof for higher-order logic uses a variant of the standard semantics.
Second-order logic is in turn extended by higher-order logic and type theory.
