This study into the notion of authority have been inspired by Józef Maria Bocheński's treatise Co to jest autorytet? (What is Authority?). The elementary expression adopted here is: “x is subordinate to the authority y in the field a” – symbolically: xεsaut(y,a). Our basis is an elementary ontology enriched with these specific axioms: xεsaut(y,a) saut(x,a) saut(y,a) xεsaut(y,a) ~y saut(x,a) xεsaut(y,a) yεy saut(x,a)Osaut(y,a) xOy which are an interpretation of Frege's predication scheme. Functor Aya, which appears in the context xεAya read as “x is an authority for y in the field a”, is introduced by definition. The functor's special cases Ai and Ae appear in contexts xεAiya and xεAeya, which are respectively read as: “x is an authority only for y in the field a” and “x is an authority not only for y in the field a”. Moreover, the functor aut is introduced by definition, where the elementary sentence containing it – xεaut(y,a) – is read as “x is an authority for y in the field a”.
