A set of formulae is 'inconsistent' when there is no interpretation which can make them all true [Bostock]
For 'negation-consistent', there is never |-(S)φ and |-(S)¬φ [Bostock]
A proof-system is 'absolutely consistent' iff we don't have |-(S)φ for every formula [Bostock]
5. Theory of Logic / K. Features of Logics / 6. Compactness
Inconsistency or entailment just from functors and quantifiers is finitely based, if compact [Bostock]
Compactness means an infinity of sequents on the left will add nothing new [Bostock]
