Why is a relation that is $Sigma-$representable not an IFF condition?












0














I was reading these notes and the definition of $Sigma-$representability of a relation. It's as followings. $R$ is $Sigma$ representable if $forall a in mathbf N^m$ (where $a_i = S^{a_i} 0$ and $S$ is the successor function):




  1. $R(a) implies Sigma vdash varphi(a)$

  2. $neg R(a) implies Sigma vdash neg varphi(a)$


however for some reason the definition does not apply both ways automatically (which is what I would have expected). It does when $Sigma$ is consistent (for some reason).




  1. $R(a) iff Sigma vdash varphi(a)$

  2. $neg R(a) iff Sigma vdash neg varphi(a)$


Why does that only happen when $Sigma$ is consistent (and thus can be completed easily by Lindenbaum).

          If $Sigma$ is inconsistent, it proves everything, so $Sigmavdash varphi(mathbf a)$ and $Sigma vdash lnot varphi(mathbf a)$ always hold, whereas at most one of $R(a)$ or $lnot R(a)$ hold, so it is impossible for both $leftarrow$ directions to hold for any $a,$ let alone all of them.

          • I see I missed that if its not consistent it must be inconsistent...law of excluded middle in the meta logic?

          If $Sigma$ is inconsistent, it proves everything, so $Sigmavdash varphi(mathbf a)$ and $Sigma vdash lnot varphi(mathbf a)$ always hold, whereas at most one of $R(a)$ or $lnot R(a)$ hold, so it is impossible for both $leftarrow$ directions to hold for any $a,$ let alone all of them.
