| **Definiendum** | **Definiens** |
|:-------------------------------------------:|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **B** | (x) is a booby-trap |
| **D** | (x) is a device or material |
| **K** | (x) is designed, constructed, or adapted to kill or injure. |
| **F** | (x) functions (as a device or material that was designed, constructed, or adapted to kill or injure) when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently safe act |
| **p** | pagers |
P1) For all x, x is a booby-trap if, and only if, x is a device or material AND x is designed, constructed, or adapted to kill or injure AND x functions (as a device or material that was designed, constructed, or adapted to kill or injure) when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently safe act.
