equational logic
     
         First-order equational logic consists of
        {quantifier}-free terms of ordinary {first-order logic}, with
        equality as the only {predicate} symbol.  The {model theory}
        of this logic was developed into {Universal algebra} by
        Birkhoff et al.  [Birkhoff, Gratzer, Cohn].  It was later made
        into a branch of {category theory} by Lawvere ("algebraic
        theories").
