Peter van Inwagen and Michael Rea acknowledge that constitution-based Trinitarian models require abandoning standard predicate logic, making the solution more costly than the problem it purports to solve.

Constitution-based Trinitarian models(as the specific theological/philosophical approach being discussed): Philosophical theories trying to explain the Christian Trinity (God as three persons in one) by saying the three persons are 'constituted by' or 'made up of' the one God, similar to how a statue might be made of bronze.
Michael Rea(as a major philosopher being cited): A contemporary American philosopher who specializes in metaphysics and philosophy of religion, often exploring questions about how things are made up or composed.
Peter van Inwagen(as a philosopher whose ideas are discussed): A contemporary American philosopher who specializes in metaphysics (the study of what exists and how things are fundamentally structured).
Standard predicate logic(as the logical system that these models supposedly violate): The basic rules of logical reasoning used in math and philosophy that follow common-sense patterns—like 'if something is A, it cannot be not-A at the same time.'
