Signature

Summary

A signature lists the non-logical symbols of a first-order language: function symbols, relation symbols and constant symbols, each with its number of arguments. It fixes what one can talk about, before any axioms are chosen. Terms, formulas and structures are always taken over a given signature. Another name is vocabulary, and in Mathlib it is called a first-order language.
