| Correctness, Logik: is a property of systems or calculi, not of conclusions. A system is correct when all the statements provable in it are true. The system is complete when all valid statements in it are also provable. Completeness and correctness are complementary; they are complementing each other to adequacy. (R. Stuhlmann-Laeisz, Philosophische Logik, Paderborn, 2002).
B. Correctness, accuracy, philosophy contrary to the concept of truth, the concept of accuracy refers to an implicitly or explicitly presupposed rule system, which is fulfilled or not fulfilled. While truth is something that is attributed or denied to sentences, accuracy is rather applied to actions - also verbal acting - as well as to illustrations. Unlike truth, accuracy allows gradations. See also truth, truth conditions, indeterminacy, systems, theory, fulfillment, satisfiability._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

John Lyons on Correctness - Dictionary of Arguments
I 250 Correctness/Theory/Lyons: our definition of strong/weak adequacy implies in no way an interpretation of "correct". It does not even make an assumption as to whether there are any norms of "correctness". However, we determine that it is possible, at least in certain cases, to say that one description is more correct than another. We just do not claim that we can decide what is "absolutely correct". >Adequacy/Lyons. Def Weak Adequacy/Grammar/Lyons: a grammar is weakly adequate when it generates the desired class of sentences. Def strongly adequate/Lyons: it is strongly adequate when it also assigns the correct structural description to each sentence. Context-dependent/context-independent/grammar/adequacy/equivalence/Lyons: the two grammars are probably weak, but not strongly equivalent. The context-dependent is more appropriate. >Context/Lyons. Comparability/equivalence/Lyons: since the two systems are weakly equivalent, they are at least comparable. >Comparability, >Comparisons._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
