II 31
Signs/Frege: as long as e.g. the plus sign is used only between integers ("a + b"), it only needs to be explained for this purpose. If other objects are to be linked, e.g. "sun" with something else, the plus sign must be redefined.
>Definition, >Definability, >Connectives, >Equal sign, >Copula.
II 41
Frege: a sign is a proxy.
>Proxy.
II 88
Numeral/Frege: e.g. "2" is saturated. In contrast: the functional character, e.g. "sin" (sine, sinus) is unsaturated. >Unsaturated.
II 91
Sign/Frege: signs are the requirements for conceptual thinking - they no longer refer to the individual thing, but to what several things have in common.

I 127
Sign/FregeVsFormalism: empty signs are only black spots on paper. Their use would be a logical error. Empty signs do not solve any task. E.g. x + b = c: if b > c, there is no natural number x that can be inserted - nor to accept the difference (c - b) as an artificial new sign.
Sign/Frege: and where a solution is possible, the sign is not the solution, but the meaning of the sign.

FregeVsFormalism: formalism only gives instructions for definitions, not definitions themselves.
>Formalism.

Frege I 131
E.g. Number i: the meaning of "total" must be re-explained.
FregeVsHilbert: it is not enough just to call for a sense.
