Validity, Satisfiability, Models
•A sentence is valid if it is true for all possible truth assignments (a.k.a. a tautology) e.g. (P ÚØP)
•A sentence is satisfiable if there exists a “satisfying” truth assignment (i.e. a truth assignment for which the sentence is true).
•A truth assignment which satisfies a sentence is a model of that sentence.
