| Satisfaction, logic: a formula is satisfied when their variables are interpreted in a way that the formula as a whole is a true statement. The interpretation is a substitution of the variables of the formula by appropriate constants (e.g. names). When the interpreted formula is true, we call it a model. See also satisfiability, models, model theory._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Michael Woods on Satisfaction - Dictionary of Arguments

Satisfaction here is not a classic two-digit predicate, true of pairs of expressions and sequences - but if truth relative to time, it must be possible for the same sentence, to be satisfied by all sequences even in the mouth of same speaker at some times and not at other times. >Unambiguity. II 258 Satisfaction/classic/Tarski: two-digit predicate, true of pairs of expressions and sequences. >Expressions._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
