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.

R. Chisholm on Satisfaction - Dictionary of Arguments
II 70 Satisfaction/Sauer: closed sets: each ordered pair (x) (Qx> Rx) , if it is satisfied, is fulfilled by every thing - but not every open set (Qx> Rx). To try to solve that with a meaning postulate is to bring back the old problem of language dependencs without reference to the world. >Dependence, >Reference, >Meaning postulates. Sauer, W.
