% Comments : Assume epso and epsoo are choice operators on $o and $o>$o, 
%            respectively. epso can also be viewed as a predicate on $o>$o, 
%            so we can apply epsoo to epso. The term (epsoo @ epso) is of 
%            type $o>$o. This function is such that if it is true for $false, 
%            then it is true for $true. Proof Sketch: If the conjecture were 
%            not true, then (epsoo @ epso) would be the negation function.
%            However, negation is the only function $o>$o for which we are 
%            certain epso returns $false.
