Semantic Entailment<br />

Consider two sets of propositions Γ and ∆.<br />

We say that v |= Γ (v satisfies Γ) if v |= B for every B ∈ Γ;<br />

analogously for ∆.<br />

We say that ∆ is a semantic consequence of Γ if every<br />

assignment that satisfies Γ also satisfies ∆, written as Γ |= ∆.<br />

A, A → B |= A, B<br />

A → B, ¬B |= ¬A<br />

We also say that Γ semantically entails ∆ when Γ |= ∆.<br />
