   happened again onto this entry and tried to fix it up a little more:

   • replaced the Idea-section with a more informative sentence

   • finally fixed the typesetting error (a spurious dollar sign) in the “proof” which was causing followup misrenderings

   • changed the page name from “the logic S5(m)” to a more canonical title

   The entry is still not in good shape, but I leave it as is for the moment.
