Expressive completeness refers to the ability of a logical system to express all properties of the structures it can model. In the context of second-order logic, it highlights the system's capability to capture a broader range of concepts and relationships compared to first-order logic, including quantification over relations and sets. This leads to a richer framework for formal reasoning, enabling more complex statements about mathematical and logical structures.
