A set Gamma is complete exactly when, for every sentence A, either A belongs to Gamma or the negation of A belongs to Gamma.
For complete consistent Gamma, derivability implies membership; a conjunction belongs exactly when both conjuncts belong; a disjunction belongs exactly when at least one disjunct belongs; and an implication belongs exactly when its antecedent is absent or its consequent belongs.
The exercise asks the reader to complete the proof of the proposition characterizing membership in a complete consistent set. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
If Gamma is consistent in language L, then adding a denumerable family of new constants to obtain language L prime leaves Gamma consistent in the expanded language.
A set Gamma is saturated when every one-free-variable formula has a constant witness whose existential implication belongs to Gamma.
The definition enumerates the one-free-variable formulas of the expanded language, chooses each fresh witness constant outside the formulas and earlier witness sentences, and defines the corresponding existential witness implication.
Every consistent set Gamma extends to a saturated consistent set Gamma prime.
The two-row display starts with Gamma sub zero equal to Gamma and forms each successor by adjoining the current Henkin witness sentence.
For complete consistent saturated Gamma, an existential sentence belongs exactly when one closed-term instance belongs, and a universal sentence belongs exactly when every closed-term instance belongs.
Every consistent set Gamma in language L extends to a complete consistent set Gamma star.
For complete consistent saturated Gamma star, the term model has all closed terms as its domain, interprets each constant as itself, interprets each function by term formation, and makes a predicate tuple true exactly when its atomic sentence belongs to Gamma star.
Every closed term t evaluates to itself in the term model of Gamma star.
The three-row display evaluates a compound term by applying the interpreted function to the values of its arguments, replaces those values by the terms themselves, and obtains the original compound term.
In the term model, an existential sentence is true exactly when one closed-term instance is true, and a universal sentence is true exactly when every closed-term instance is true.
The exercise asks the reader to complete the proof characterizing existential and universal truth in the term model. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
For a sentence A that contains no identity symbol, the term model of Gamma star satisfies A exactly when A belongs to Gamma star.
The exercise asks the reader to complete the proof of the Truth Lemma for the term model without identity. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
For closed terms, t is related to t prime by the relation approx exactly when the identity sentence saying t equals t prime belongs to Gamma star.
The relation approx is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive; replacing related terms preserves function-term equivalence and preserves membership of predicate atoms in Gamma star.
The two-line display says that a predicate atom with t in one argument position belongs to Gamma star exactly when the corresponding atom with the related term t prime belongs.
The exercise asks the reader to complete the proof that approx is an equivalence relation and a congruence for functions and predicates. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
The equivalence class of a closed term t contains exactly the closed terms related to t by approx, and the quotient term set consists of all such equivalence classes.
The quotient structure has equivalence classes of closed terms as its domain, interprets constants and functions by their equivalence classes, and interprets predicates by truth in the original term model, equivalently by membership in Gamma star.
If corresponding closed terms are related by approx, then their function values determine the same equivalence class and their predicate atoms have the same truth value in the term model.
Every term t evaluates in the quotient structure to the equivalence class of t under approx.
The exercise asks the reader to complete the proof that each term evaluates to its equivalence class in the quotient model. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
For every sentence A, the quotient term model satisfies A exactly when A belongs to Gamma star.
The display follows three equivalent conditions: the quotient model satisfies t equals t prime, their equivalence classes are equal, t is related to t prime by approx, and the equality sentence belongs to Gamma star.
Every consistent set Gamma of first-order sentences is satisfiable.
For every set Gamma and sentence A, if Gamma semantically entails A, then Gamma syntactically derives A.
The exercise asks the reader to derive the consistency-implies-satisfiability theorem from the semantic-to-syntactic completeness corollary and thereby prove the formulations equivalent. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
The exercise asks for a list or diagram tracing every explicit and tacit use of derivation rules in the results leading to completeness. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.

A set Gamma is finitely satisfiable exactly when every finite subset Gamma sub zero of Gamma is satisfiable.
For a set of sentences Gamma and a sentence A, semantic entailment has a finite witnessing subset; equivalently, Gamma is satisfiable exactly when every finite subset is satisfiable.
The exercise asks the reader to prove the first clause of the Compactness Theorem, which gives a finite subset witnessing semantic entailment. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
Starting from an infinite model, the example adds a new constant and inequalities saying it differs from every old closed term; every finite subset is satisfiable, so compactness yields a model with an element not named by any old term.
The example expands the ordered-field language by a constant c, requires c to be positive and smaller than every reciprocal numeral, verifies finite satisfiability in suitable rational expansions, and uses compactness to obtain a model containing an infinitesimal.
The exercise asks the reader to use compactness to obtain a model of true arithmetic containing an element larger than every standard numeral. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
Sentences requiring at least n objects can force models to be infinite, while compactness shows that no first-order theory can have exactly all finite structures as its models.
For complete finitely satisfiable Gamma, conjunction, disjunction, and implication membership obey the expected truth-functional clauses.
The exercise asks the reader to prove the proposition about complete finitely satisfiable sets without using syntactic derivability. It is explicitly preserved as unsolved; the source supplies no solution.
Unsolved source exercise; no solution added.
Every finitely satisfiable set Gamma extends to a saturated finitely satisfiable set Gamma prime.

For complete finitely satisfiable saturated Gamma, an existential belongs exactly when some closed-term instance belongs, and a universal belongs exactly when every closed-term instance belongs.

Every consistent set Gamma has an enumerable model whose domain is finite or denumerable.
Every consistent set of sentences in first-order logic without identity has a denumerable model with an infinite enumerable domain.
If set theory is consistent, the Downward Lowenheim Skolem Theorem gives it enumerable models even though those models contain objects that the theory itself describes as nonenumerable.
