  bound variable
       
          1. A bound variable or formal argument in a function
          definition is replaced by the actual argument when the
          function is applied.  In the lambda abstraction
       
          	\ x . M
       
          x is the bound variable.  However, x is a free variable of
          the term M when M is considered on its own.  M is the scope
          of the binding of x.
       
          2. In logic a bound variable is a quantified variable.  See
          quantifier.
