✦ Synopsis


We provide a universal axiom system for plane hyperbolic geometry in a firstorder language with two sorts of individual variables, 'points' (upper-case) and 'lines' (lowercase), containing three individual constants, A0, A1, A2, standing for three non-collinear points, two binary operation symbols, Ο• and ΞΉ, with Ο•(A, B) = l to be interpreted as 'l is the line joining A and B' (provided that A = B, an arbitrary line, otherwise), and ΞΉ(g, h) = P to be interpreted as 'P is the point of intersection of g and h (provided that g and h are distinct and have a point of intersection, an arbitrary point, otherwise), and two binary operation symbols, Ο€1(P, l) and Ο€2(P, l), with Ο€i(P, l) = g (for i = 1, 2) to be interpreted as 'g is one of the two limiting parallel lines from P to l (provided that P is not on l, an arbitrary line, otherwise).

## Abstract This paper continues the investigations begun in [6] and continued in [7] about quantifier‐free axiomatizations of plane Euclidean geometry using ternary operations. We show that plane Euclidean geometry over Archimedean ordered Euclidean fields can be axiomatized using only two ternary
