tautology
SEMANTICS: a sentence which is always true, not due to its word meanings but to its logical form. A tautology is
also called a logical truth or a
necessary truth. A sentence of
propositional logic is a tautology
when it is true for every possible assignment of
truth values to the
propositional letters of that
sentence. The formula p v Neg p is a tautology of propositional logic. A sentence
of predicate logic is a tautology when
it is true for every possible denotation of the variables and individual and
predicate constants that it contains. The formula All(x) [ P(x) v Neg P(x) ] is a
tautology of predicate logic.
