This template transcludes definitions from the formal dictionary.

Usage[edit source]
For example, the following wikitext:
{{Formal dictionary|Essence}}
Renders the following content: Let x be an entity. Then the essence of x is the set of all its essential properties. Most definitions link to other terms. Therefore, you should also transclude those other terms so that the user can track the meaning of the terms up to the primitives. See Formal theory of causality for a full example.
