Let expand by a constant for each , and let be the canonical expansion interpreting as . Its diagram of a structure is the set of all atomic and negated atomic -sentences true in . Its elementary diagram is the set of all -sentences true there:A substructure inclusion means that , constants have the same interpretations, the operations of restrict to those of , and each relation restricts to the corresponding relation on .
An elementary substructure additionally preserves the truth of every logical formula with parameters from :Here the right-hand condition includes the substructure requirements by applying it to atomic logical formulas and their negations.
