In addition to my previous posting on CT, to prevent some
possible objections, I should recall to those who do not
know what is formal CT that it is a schema
forall x exists y A(x,y) => exists e forall x A(x,{e}(x))
for A *arbitrary* formula in the corresponding arithmetic
language.
Note, that this schema is contradictory in the framework
of classical logic. Also it is *not* a direct formalization
of the ordinary CT which is genuine informal thesis.
