The primary aim of the definition sequence is to establish the
mathematical platform for software development in particular with
a view towards array-based logic. The secondary aim is to
establish an approach for teaching array theory. The definition
sequence has been developed in the spirit of array theory
developed by dr. Trenchard More. In order to check the definition
sequence we made a comparison to APL2, Iverson's J language,
functional programming languages and Backus' FP. The establishment
of the set of primitives is considered as an engineering design
project. The result of this is that from eight primitives which
can be related to the axioms of Zermelo-Fraenkel's set theory we
can build all the functions of the pure array theory.
