A completeness theorem in modal logic

The present paper attempts to state and prove a completeness theorem for the system S5 of [1], supplemented by first-order quantifiers and the sign of equality. We assume that we possess a denumerably infinite list of individual variables a, b, c, …, x, y, z, …, xm, ym, zm, … as well as a denumerably infinite list of n-adic predicate variables Pn, Qn, Rn, …, Pmn, Qmn, Rmn,…; if n=0, an n-adic predicate variable is often called a “propositional variable.” A formula Pn(x1, …,xn) is an n-adic prime formula; often the superscript will be omitted if such an omission does not sacrifice clarity.
