Properties of Statement:
- A statement is satisfiable if there is some interpretation for which it is true.
- A statement is valid if it is true for all interpretations.
- A Statement is contradictory if there is no interpretation for which it is true.
- Two sentences are equivalent if they have the same truth value under every interpretation.
- A statement is a logical consequence of another if it is established by all interpretations which are satisfied by the first.
Note:
- A valid statement is satisfiable and a contradictory statement is invalid. But the converge is not necessary to be true.
- P V ⁓P is valid since every interpretation results in a value of true.
- P & ⁓P is contradictory since every interpretation results in a value of false.
- P & ⁓(⁓P) are equivalent since each has the same truth value under every interpretation.
- P is a logical consequence of P&Q since any interpretation for which P&Q is true, P is also true.
