Harvey, Do you know Wilfrid Hodges' model-theoretic analysis of Aquinas' 
theory of the Trinity? All three members of the Trinity realise the same 
1-type, but they realise distinct 2-types. There is a binary relation of 
`procedes from'. I don't think he ever published it, but it might be worth 
chasing up in the present context. It might further soften the hearts of 
the Templeton people towards logic!
