Example types with satisfiable
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
So φ is satisfiable, and we are done. (8 words)
If this is the case, the formula is called satisfiable. (10 words)
Therefore, model theorists often use "consistent" as a synonym for "satisfiable". (11 words)
Such a formula is indeed satisfiable if and only if at least one of its conjunctions is satisfiable, and a conjunction is satisfiable if and only if it does not contain both x and NOT x for some variable x. This can be checked in linear time. (47 words)
Then, once this claim (expressed in the previous sentence) is proved, it will suffice to prove " is either refutable or satisfiable" only for φ's belonging to the class C. Note also that if φ is provably equivalent to ψ (i. (41 words)
If on the other hand Theorem 2 holds and φ is valid in all structures, then ¬φ is not satisfiable in any structure and therefore refutable; then ¬¬φ is provable and then so is φ, thus Theorem 1 holds. (39 words)

Such a formula is indeed satisfiable if and only if at least one of its conjunctions is satisfiable, and a conjunction is satisfiable if and only if it does not contain both x and NOT x for some variable x. This can be checked in linear time.
However, suppose that for every formula φ there is some formula ψ taken from a more restricted class of formulas C, such that " is either refutable or satisfiable" → " is either refutable or satisfiable".
An initial problem is solved by reducing it to a satisfiable conjunction of constraints.
If every formula in R of degree k is either refutable or satisfiable, then so is every formula in R of degree k+1.
If on the other hand Theorem 2 holds and φ is valid in all structures, then ¬φ is not satisfiable in any structure and therefore refutable; then ¬¬φ is provable and then so is φ, thus Theorem 1 holds.
If this is the case, the formula is called satisfiable.
Let us call the class of all such formulas R. We are faced with proving that every formula in R is either refutable or satisfiable.
Note that the tautology problem for positive Boolean formulae remains co-NP complete, even though the satisfiability problem is trivial, as every positive Boolean formula is satisfiable.
Now is a formula of degree k and therefore by assumption either refutable or satisfiable.
Other terms with this type of ambiguity are: satisfiable, true, false, function, property, class, relation, cardinal, and ordinal.
So φ is satisfiable, and we are done.
The Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) is, given a formula, to check whether it is satisfiable.
Then, once this claim (expressed in the previous sentence) is proved, it will suffice to prove " is either refutable or satisfiable" only for φ's belonging to the class C. Note also that if φ is provably equivalent to ψ (i.
Therefore, model theorists often use "consistent" as a synonym for "satisfiable".
We have proved that φ is either satisfiable or refutable, and this concludes the proof of the Lemma.
We immediately restate it in a form more convenient for our purposes: Theorem 2. Every formula is either refutable or satisfiable in some structure.
