925:@D.Lazard - your revision is still incorrect, and your comments about my paragraph are completely unfounded. My paragraph was no more technical or jargon-laden than the one you replaced it with. In fact it was less so. You complain that I used the word 'formal' twice, when your paragraph uses 'formalized', 'well-formed formulas' and 'formal language'. You say the concept of formal language is not needed here, but you have referenced it yourself. My paragraph does not give a partial or biased view of theorems. In the body of the article I have referenced eight standard textbooks of mathematical logic that support the account I have given. I did not anywhere say that "logic does not study proofs of theorems". Also, I did not say that logic is concerned only with syntax: in fact I said the opposite in the body of the article and left the lead neutral as between syntax and semantics. You removed the point about theories being sets and added the footnote that "this is avoided here for clarity and also for not depending on set theory" even though the second paragraph of the lead, which you wrote, says that the axioms and inference rules used to prove theorems are "almost always those of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory". I don't believe it is essential to mention Gödel's incompleteness theorems in the lead, but if you are going to do it, they need to be stated correctly.
840:@D.Lazard - your revision to the lead on 3 October is incorrect, and unless you can give a good reason, I propose to revert it. 1. What is an 'assertion'? Is it the same as a statement or a sentence or what? 2. You are conflating the concept of a formal language and a theory. They are completely different things. A language consists of the rules that determine what qualifies as a wff. A theory is a set of closed wffs (sentences). A theorem is an element of a theory. Theorems are not deduced "from the basic terms of a language". 3. Deduction rules are not "part of" a theory. A theory is a set of sentences, a rule is not a sentence, so a rule cannot be part of a theory. Deduction rules only come into the picture when a theory is closed under a derivability relation. Many accounts of theories define a theory to be closed under semantic consequence, which means they can be defined without reference to a deduction system. 4. The sentence about Gödel's incompleteness theorems does not belong in the lead, and in any case is too inaccurate to be useful.

noting explicitly that theories do not necessarily contain all their theorems, but in general only contain the closed theorems - those which are closed formulas, sentences. Sorry for the nitpicking, if i came to this page it is because the page on
Presburger arithmetic uses the undefined term "nontheorem" to define "decidable", and that leads in that page to a nonnegligible ambiguity about the notion of decidable theory - which does not have to be complete, but the PrA page left this ambiguity and that on "nontheorem" unsettled as PrA is complete, so i added a note near "nontheorem" to clarify.

consequence, and a sentence that is a member of that set is a theorem of that theory. As such, any sentence can be a theorem of some theory or other. It doesn't have to be true (the theory might be unsound), and it doesn't have to be provable (the theory might be unaxiomatizable). If I am reading the history correctly, this article was merged with a different one about formal theories. I would suggest that this merger has had unfortunate consequences, and it should either be undone, or the article should be split into separate sections.

The second requires a deductive system. Of course if the underlying logic is sound and complete then the two are extensionally equivalent.

I agree that demerging the article is not a good option, but the lede should make it clear that it relates only to how the word theorem is used in mathematics, not in logic. The section on logic could then make it clear that within logic, theorem has a much broader sense. The relation between the two

There are surely better presentations than i suggest.

The reason that this is an issue at all is the language surrounding ZFC, which as I've mentioned above, I find problematic for other reasons. The notion of "theorem" has not changed all that much since Euclid, but ZFC was only laid out in the 20th century. I think that ZFC is a convenient fallback

To be honest I don't think it's particularly important to distinguish between those two senses; they're pretty much equivalent. The other two questions (whether axioms need to be true or otherwise "accepted", and whether theories are collections of meaningful propositions or simply of uninterpreted

I think there are two separate issues here. One is that the language in the lead currently requires axioms to be "generally accepted", which isn't always true, as sometimes axioms are added instrumentally or provisionally. The other is the disconnect between theorems as formal strings and theorems

I have edited the revert to reflect the current state of play: McLarty's old article was cited, but not a more recent article of his reproving the universe-dependent ingredients in a way that doesn't use universes.

But I gather that the folks most in a position to have an opinion think that this is very unlikely. The machinery is developed using

correctly states that a theory is a set of sentences in a formal language. The sentences that make up a theory are its theorems. This is standard stuff that you will find in any textbook of mathematical logic. As such, any wff can be a theorem of some theory or another. It does not have to be true
363:
So, I strongly oppose your suggestion of undoing an old merger. Another reason for that is that following your suggestion requires an editor who well knows the rules of
Knowledge (XXG), and has a wide knowledge of mathematical logic. I doubt that there is an editor who has these competences and is
329:
The article as it stands seems to me to be trying to put too much into a single article. The lede describes what mathematicians normally consider to be a theorem in mathematics, but in logic it means something different. In logic, a theory is simply a set of sentences, usually closed under logical

I thus suggest defining the formal concept of theorem in logic directly, and separately defining "theory" in logic. I suggest using
Enderton's definitions - which apply to all quantified logics, with the already present caveat that logical consequence can be replaced by semantic consequence - and

What I have learned from consulting a number of texts is that there are two distinct ways of defining theory in logic. The more popular camp, which includes Enderton and many others, is that a theory is just a set of sentences, usually closed under logical consequence. The other, which includes

It's true that the axioms don't have to be true in the standard interpretation of the language, if there is one, or even in any interpretation in the case of an inconsistent theory. That's a valid criticism of the opening sentence, which currently suggests that axioms need to be "generally
