Simple proposition can be written through a
notation to show the essentials of proposition

Simple proposition has just one predicator
which is written in capital letters
The arguments of the predicator are
represented by single lower case letters,
putting one of these letter before the
predicator and after the predicator (if there
are other predicator)
