Determinacy: an object is either in a set, or it isn't
[Zalabardo]
|
10887
|
Specification: Determinate totals of objects always make a set
[Zalabardo]
|
10888
|
Sets can be defined by 'enumeration', or by 'abstraction' (based on a property)
[Zalabardo]
|
10889
|
The 'Cartesian Product' of two sets relates them by pairing every element with every element
[Zalabardo]
|
10890
|
A 'partial ordering' is reflexive, antisymmetric and transitive
[Zalabardo]
|
10891
|
If a set is defined by induction, then proof by induction can be applied to it
[Zalabardo]
|
10893
|
Γ |= φ for sentences if φ is true when all of Γ is true
[Zalabardo]
|
10892
|
We make a truth assignment to T and F, which may be true and false, but merely differ from one another
[Zalabardo]
|
10894
|
A sentence-set is 'satisfiable' if at least one truth-assignment makes them all true
[Zalabardo]
|
10895
|
'Logically true' (|= φ) is true for every truth-assignment
[Zalabardo]
|
10896
|
Propositional logic just needs ¬, and one of ∧, ∨ and →
[Zalabardo]
|
10897
|
A first-order 'sentence' is a formula with no free variables
[Zalabardo]
|
10898
|
The semantics shows how truth values depend on instantiations of properties and relations
[Zalabardo]
|
10901
|
Some formulas are 'satisfiable' if there is a structure and interpretation that makes them true
[Zalabardo]
|
10900
|
Logically true sentences are true in all structures
[Zalabardo]
|
10899
|
Γ |= φ if φ is true when all of Γ is true, for all structures and interpretations
[Zalabardo]
|
10903
|
A structure models a sentence if it is true in the model, and a set of sentences if they are all true in the model
[Zalabardo]
|
10902
|
We can do semantics by looking at given propositions, or by building new ones
