Would any subscriber to fom be willing to attempt
a brief informal description of accepted usage of the
terms:

    strength
    proof theoretic strength
    consistency strength
    ordinal strength

in relation to formal deductive systems?

Are there any other important ways of comparing
the strength of deductive systems?
