Quantifier
An operator that binds a variable and states how much of the domain it ranges over; the universal quantifier ∀ means 'for all,' and the existential quantifier ∃ means 'for some' or 'there exists.'
Why it matters
Quantifiers make generality and existence logically explicit and are the central innovation of predicate logic over categorical and propositional systems.
