Every invariant is an invariant with respect to a particular
transformation or set of transformations.  The operators of
FOL --  and, or, not, implies, exists, forall, ... -- happen
to be invariant with respect to a very large number of
transformations.    (04)

Whenever you find something that is preserved under such a wide
range of transformations, it is likely to be important.  But
that does not mean it will be preserved under *all* possible
transformations.    (05)
