This isn't an explanation; it's a translation. And it's correct. What would count as an "explanation"? A bunch of logical formulae? A history of the so/such ... that S construction?

The noun is a condition that b fits. I added one of the example sentences that is kind of similar outside the mathematical context.

If "such" is a determiner or a predeterminer, then what is the corresponding noun/pronoun in the sentence? If "such" is a pronoun, what is "such" referring to? Every example in Lexico involving "such that" is of the form "... is/was such that...", a pattern that my sentence does not fit into. | |
