9544 | A system is 'weakly' complete if all wffs are derivable, and 'strongly' if theses are maximised [Hughes/Cresswell] |
Full Idea: To say that an axiom system is 'weakly complete' is to say that every valid wff of the system is derivable as a thesis. ..The system is 'strongly complete' if it cannot have any more theses than it has without falling into inconsistency. | |
From: GE Hughes/M Cresswell (An Introduction to Modal Logic [1968], Ch.1) | |
A reaction: [They go on to say that Propositional Logic is strongly complete, but Modal Logic is not] |
