In Logical Entailment a Theory is a Set of Formulas. Therefore a Theory is pretty much the same as a Knowledge Base. Then an Interpretation I is a model of T, only then if for all formulas G and T, I is a Model. A Formula F is a Consequence T only then if all models of T are also Models of F, then we can write T entails F and F is logical Consequence of the knowledge base T. On the other hand we know this already know the two formulas F and G are also in First Order Logic logical equivalent, if and only if G is a consequence of F and F is a Consequence of G. Then we can state F is equivalent to G.

• a theory is a set of Formulas.
• an Interpretation I is a Model of T. if I ⊨ G for all formulas G in T
• a formula F is a logical Consequence of T, if all Models of T are also Models of F.
• Then we write T ⊨ F.
• Two Formulas F, G are called logical Equivalent, if {F} ⊨ G and {G} ⊨ F.
• then we write F ≡ G

Theory ≙ Knowledge Base
