I'm going through the database trying to understand everything from very 
first principles.  One of my frustrations in trying to follow proofs on the 
site is the cryptic naming of theorems and lack of organization of theorems 
by usage or importance.  I have managed to get through the propositional 
logic section and have written up everything I considered prior to the 
definition of the biconditional and conjugation.

It is in the section with theorems regarding "proper substitution" where I 
am somewhat lost without additional resources at this point.  Substitution 
is utilized in order to define classes, which are used extensively later 
on, but the motivation behind the theorems and definitions regarding 
substitution is lost on me.  I cannot find which theorems are important to 
build the expected behavior starting with atomic wffs and working up 
through induction by adding theorems regarding quantifiers and logical 
connectives.  There is also nothing distinguishing which proofs are the 
most important, plus many theorems that really belong together conceptually 
are placed far away form each other on the site as set.mm places theorems 
that require fewer axioms much earlier.

Anyways, I will attach and share what I have written so far as soon as I 
know that I am approved for the mailing list.
