Consistency by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated 2025-07-16
A set of axioms is consistent if they don't lead to any contradictions.
When a set of axioms is not consistent, false can be proven, and then everything is true, making the set of axioms useless.
Consistency can refer to several different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few of the most common interpretations: 1. **General Definition**: Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform or coherent over time. It implies stability and reliability in behavior, performance, or characteristics. 2. **In Psychology**: Consistency can relate to a person's behavior and attitudes across different situations.
