It has no generally ..., model theory is the study of the relationship between formal theories (a collection of sentences in a formal language expressing statements about a mathematical structure), and their models, taken as Interpretation (model theory), interpretations that satisfy the sentences of that theory. Informal description Model theory recognizes and is intimately concerned with a duality: it examines Semantics, semantical elements (meaning and truth) by means of Syntax, syntactical elements (formulas and proofs) of a corresponding language. In a summary definition, dating from 1973: :model theory = universal algebra + logic. Model theory developed rapidly during the 1990s, and a more modern definition is provided by Wilfrid ...

A set paired with a total order is called a chain, a totally ordered set, a simply ordered set, a linearly ordered set, or a loset. Formally, a binary relation \leq is a total order on a set X if the following statements hold for all a, b and c in X: : Antisymmetric relation, Antisymmetry: If a \leq b and b \leq a then a = b; : Transitive relation, Transitivity: If a \leq b and b \leq c then a \leq c; : Connex relation, Connexity: a \leq b or b \leq a. Antisymmetry eliminates uncertain cases when both a precedes b and b precedes a. A relation having the ''connex'' property means that any pair of elements in the set of the relation are comparability, comparable under the relation. This also means that the set can be diagrammed as a line ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]
