Theory<br />

Assume a fixed first-order language.<br />

A set S of sentences is closed under provability if<br />

S = {A | A is a sentence and S ⊢ A is provable}.<br />

A set of sentences is called a theory if it is closed under<br />

provability.<br />

A theory is typically represented by a smaller set of sentences,<br />

called its axioms.<br />
