You probably meant the code to read:
***********************************************
sysuse auto, clear
gen wt1000 = weight/1000
reg mpg rep78  wt1000
ellip rep78 wt1000, coefs xline(0) yline(0)
***********************************************

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).
