Soundness and completeness
... Proof.(No need to remember this.) Left-to-right: suppose that (A → B) ∈ Γ and A ∈ Γ. By modus ponens, we get Γ ⊢ B. By an earlier lemma, Γ is closed under deduction, so B ∈ Γ. Right-to-left. Suppose that A ∈ Γ implies B ∈ Γ. To see that (A → B) ∈ Γ, we consider two cases. Case 1: A ∈ Γ. Then by assu ...

CHAPTER 9 Two Proofs of Completeness Theorem 1 Classical
... The soundness theorem proves that our prove system ”produces” only tautologies. We show, as the next step, that our proof system ”produces” not only tautologies, but all of the tautologies. This is called a completeness theorem. The proof of completeness theorem for a given semantics and a given pr ...

Predicate logic. Formal and informal proofs
... • The steps of the proofs are not expressed in any formal language as e.g. propositional logic • Steps are argued less formally using English, mathematical formulas and so on • One must always watch the consistency of the argument made, logic and its rules can often help us to decide the soundness o ...

The Foundations: Logic and Proofs
