Sorry, that was my foo pa .. i have these concepts all smushed together in my mind ... and am playing catch up with my education. But I still don't get what makes logic higher order. I have tried to depict my understanding of your description in the graph at http://robustai.net/mentography/higherOrder.gif which I have also put on the Public CMap server under the SemanticWeb Project.
