There don't have to be missing values in var3. As long as your rows
and columns variables don't take you everywhere in the matrix, i.e.
you don't have all possible tuples A={(i,j) | i=1,..., maxrows;
j=1,..., maxcols} you will be left with missing values.

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
