Subject: Formal Generalization Problem - Solve it
[I repost message which you not all received. Also I claimed that I
(partially) solved the problem myself. No my solution was with errors. Can
anybody solve?]

During my math logic research (draft "21 Century Math Method" online:
http://ex-code.com/~porton/math/method.html)

I found a simply formulated problem. I formulated it just today and have not
yet solved it. Whether it is a hard open problem or not, it is interesting.

It is about formalization of the philosophical concept of "generalization".

Please help to solve it. I will reward you with a weblink if you solve
before myself.

What a load of tosh.

I also mistaken in the conditions of the problem (namely in definition of
the operation -top->, which I call top-substitution).

Corrected version of the problem:

This problem was raised during my math logic research ("21 Century Math
Method"):
