  • (logic) The property of a logical theory that whenever a wff is valid then it must also be a theorem. Symbolically, letting T'' represent a theory within logic ''L'', this can be represented as the property that whenever T \vDash \phi is true, then T \vdash \phi must also be true, for any wff ''φ'' of logic ''L .
