   See if you find my message in your newsreader in which I describe some   
   definition extensions and systems related by them. There is critical   
   matter of the precise meaning of "prove in a system" (mathematicians)   
   and "derive of a system" (logicians). And the matter of whether your "F"   
   refers to the system of which your definition of G is an axiom, to its   
   related basic system of which your G is not, or to something else.
