Definition:Sound Proof System/Strongly Sound

Definition
Let $\mathcal L$ be a logical language.

Let $\mathscr P$ be a proof system for $\mathcal L$, and let $\mathscr M$ be a formal semantics for $\mathcal L$.

$\mathscr P$ is strongly sound for $\mathscr M$ iff:


 * Every $\mathscr P$-provable consequence is an $\mathscr M$-semantic consequence.

Symbolically, this can be expressed as the statement that, for every collection of logical formulas $\mathcal F$, and logical formula $\phi$ of $\mathcal L$:


 * $\mathcal F \vdash_{\mathscr P} \phi$ implies $\mathcal F \models_{\mathscr M} \phi$
