A conclusion is formally derivable from premises when a permitted formal proof exists with those premises as its undischarged assumptions. This is a syntactic relation, distinct from semantic entailment.
Theoremhood is formal derivability with no undischarged assumptions. A logical formula is a theorem of a calculus exactly when it has an assumption-free formal proof.
