[mizar] How to call it?
Fixed variables are called sometimes local constants. Ground term is
defined as
'a term that does not contain any variables at all' (Wikipedia).
How to call a term that does not contain bound variables, but local constants
are allowed?
The same goes for closed terms and so on.
BTW How to call variables that are not fixed. I tried to use
'quantified variables'. It is O.K. in the case of variables bound by
quatifiers, not so
is they are bound by operators.
So I use 'bound variables'. On the other hand fixed variables are also
bound, by proof constructors.
