First, where G is a set of formulas and E a formula of the same language not derivable from it, there is, for a language ...

Rules of inference
... Arguments A formal proof of a conclusion C, given premises p1, p2,…,pn consists of a sequence of steps, each of which applies some inference rule to premises or to previously-proven statements (as hypotheses) to yield a new true statement (the conclusion). A proof demonstrates that if the premis ...

Using model theory for grammatical inference
... A model signature contains a domain (a set of elements), a set of constants, a set of relations, and a set of functions. These denote elements, relationships among elements, and maps from (tuples of) elements to other elements, respectively. We only consider model signatures with finite domains and ...
