<h2>FUNCTION-THEORY</h2>function symbol rules as of logical name
<pre>Major Section: <a href="THEORIES.html">THEORIES</a>
</pre><p>
<pre>
Examples:
(function-theory :here)
(function-theory 'lemma3)
</pre>
See <a href="LOGICAL-NAME.html">logical-name</a>.
<p>
<pre>
General Form:
(function-theory logical-name)
</pre>
Returns the theory containing all the <code>:</code><code><a href="DEFINITION.html">definition</a></code> <a href="RUNE.html">rune</a>s, whether
<a href="ENABLE.html">enable</a>d or not, that existed immediately after <code><a href="LOGICAL-NAME.html">logical-name</a></code> was
introduced. See the documentation for <a href="THEORIES.html">theories</a>,
<a href="LOGICAL-NAME.html">logical-name</a> and <code><a href="EXECUTABLE-COUNTERPART-THEORY.html">executable-counterpart-theory</a></code>.<p>
You may experience a fencepost problem in deciding which logical
name to use. <code><a href="DEFLABEL.html">Deflabel</a></code> can always be used to mark unambiguously for
future reference a particular point in the development of your
theory. The order of <a href="EVENTS.html">events</a> in the vicinity of an <code><a href="ENCAPSULATE.html">encapsulate</a></code> is
confusing. See <a href="ENCAPSULATE.html">encapsulate</a>.<p>
This ``function'' is actually a macro that expands to a term
mentioning the single free variable <code><a href="WORLD.html">world</a></code>. When theory expressions
are evaluated by <code><a href="IN-THEORY.html">in-theory</a></code> or the <code>:</code><code><a href="IN-THEORY.html">in-theory</a></code> hint, <code><a href="WORLD.html">world</a></code> is bound to
the current ACL2 <a href="WORLD.html">world</a>.
