5.46 When we have rightly introduced the logical signs, the sense of all their combinations has been already introduced with them: therefore not only “p ∨ q” but also “~(p ∨ ~q)”, etc. etc. We should then already have introduced the effect of all possible combinations of brackets; and it would then have become clear that the proper general primitive signs are not “p ∨ q”, “(∃x) . fx”, etc., but the most general form of their combinations.
