Definition
Let $\mathbf A, \mathbf B$ be WFFs of propositional logic.
Then $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ are equivalent for boolean interpretations if and only if:
- $\mathbf A \models_{\mathrm{BI}} \mathbf B$ and $\mathbf B \models_{\mathrm{BI}} \mathbf A$
that is, each is a semantic consequence of the other.
That is to say, $\mathbf A$ and $\mathbf B$ are equivalent if and only if:
- $\map v {\mathbf A} = T$ if and only if $\map v {\mathbf B} = T$
for all boolean interpretations $v$.
