These are

CATEGORY 1:

predicate-constants.

CATEGORY 2:

constants of individuals.

---

category 3:

variables of individual

---

category 4:

LOGICAL constants -- by which he means truth-functors:

monadic: ~

dyadic: /\, \/, and ) (he later will play with )()

---

Category 5:

quantification-symbols: A and E. A quantifier is a complex of a quantification symbol followed by a subscripted variable -- rendering Axn, and Exn

Category 6:

numerical subscripts proper -- which denote natural numbers

Category 7:

propositional letters (just in case).
