Satisfiability, logic: a statement can be satisfied if there is an interpretation (e.g. an insertion of constants instead of variables), in which the statement is true. E.g. tautologies are always satisfied, contradictions are never satisfied. See also tautology, contradiction, contingency, satisfaction, models, model theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
