The last part can be done this way:
********************************
mat define A=(2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 \/*
*/2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 \/*
*/2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2)
mat list A
mat A = (A, J(rowsof(A), 1, 1))
mat list A
********************************

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
