I don't really understand this one. What could go under x2, x3 and x4? Could I have some examples?

Thanks!

I think this resembles the axioms of separation from ZF set theory. x1 is the identifier for the group, which is a part/subset of a group x3. In order to select the group members you use a restriction x2. the remaining x4 gives a reason why they form a group.

Taking the "one-eyed-young men association for animal rights ", x3 could be all humans and the common property would be "one-eyed, young, male", whereas the property shrinks to "one eyed" of you use "young men" as x2.

Hope that helps, maybe someone else can give a good example. Maybe there's an example within the search range of lojban google.
