Definition

Let $\LL_0$ be the language of propositional logic.

Let $\mathscr P$ be a proof system for $\LL_0$.


Then $\mathscr P$ is consistent if and only if:

There exists a logical formula $\phi$ such that $\not \vdash_{\mathscr P} \phi$

That is, some logical formula $\phi$ is not a theorem of $\mathscr P$.
