Abstract logic
Appearance
In mathematical logic, an abstract logic is a formal system consisting of a class of sentences and a satisfaction relation with specific properties related to occurrence, expansion, isomorphism, renaming and quantification.[1]
Based on Lindström's characterization, first-order logic is, up to equivalence, the only abstract logic which is countably compact and has Löwenheim number ω.[2]
