I think that (forall (N1) (if (T1 N1) B) ) means It is true that there are some things in the domain (of discourse ?) if you bind the variable "N1" to each of these things in turn, and you have a predicate T1 that when given each of these things as an argument will produce either the value of true or false, then for only those values of N1 where the predicate T1 is "true", then the _expression_ B (presumably which may use the variable N1) is also true. for those values of N1 where the predicate T1 is "false", the _expression_ B may be true or may be false. But what role does the "T" play in this "meaning" ? Similarly, I could explain what I think (forall (N1) (and (T1 N1) B)) means, but I don't know what a variable "T" might mean for it as well.
