Single Idea 10899

[filed under theme 5. Theory of Logic / B. Logical Consequence / 4. Semantic Consequence |= ]

Full Idea

A formula is the 'logical consequence' of a set of formulas (Γ |= φ) if for every structure in the language and every variable interpretation of the structure, if all the formulas within the set are true and the formula itself is true.

Gist of Idea

Γ |= φ if φ is true when all of Γ is true, for all structures and interpretations

The 16 ideas with the same theme [fitting with the truth of some formulae]:

Deduction is true when the premises facts necessarily make the conclusion fact true [Peirce]
X follows from sentences K iff every model of K also models X [Tarski]
Logical consequence is when in any model in which the premises are true, the conclusion is true [Tarski, by Beall/Restall]
Logical consequence: true premises give true conclusions under all interpretations [Tarski, by Hodges,W]
Validity is a conclusion following for premises, even if there is no proof [Bostock]
It seems more natural to express |= as 'therefore', rather than 'entails' [Bostock]
Γ|=φ is 'entails'; Γ|= is 'is inconsistent'; |=φ is 'valid' [Bostock]
|= in model-theory means 'logical consequence' - it holds in all models [Hodges,W]
Semantic consequence is ineffective in second-order logic [Shapiro]
If a logic is incomplete, its semantic consequence relation is not effective [Shapiro]
Γ |= φ for sentences if φ is true when all of Γ is true [Zalabardo]
Γ |= φ if φ is true when all of Γ is true, for all structures and interpretations [Zalabardo]
Formal semantics defines validity as truth preserved in every model [Williamson]
Logical consequence is either necessary truth preservation, or preservation based on interpretation [Beall/Restall]
A sentence follows from others if they always model it [Beall/Restall]
'Roses are red; therefore, roses are colored' seems truth-preserving, but not valid in a system [Koslicki]
