Satisfiability and Validity<br />

A formula A is satisfiable in M if there is an assignment s such<br />

that M, s |= A.<br />

A formula A is valid in M, denoted M |= A, if M, s |= A for<br />

every assignment s.<br />

For instance, ∀x(x + 0 = x) is valid in (Z, {+, 0}).<br />

M is called a model of A if A is valid in M.<br />

A formula A is valid if it is valid in every structure, denoted |= A.<br />
