| - | Let $S_0$ be a set of first-order formulas. | + | *Theorem (Compactness for First-Order Logic):** If every finite subset of a set $S_0$ of first-order formulas has a model, then $S_0$ has a model. |
| - | Suppose $S_0$ has no model. | + | **Proof:** |
| + | |||
| + | Let $S_0$ be a set of first-order formulas. We show contrapositive. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Suppose $S_0$ has no model. | ||
| Then $expandProp(clauses(S_0))$ has no model. | Then $expandProp(clauses(S_0))$ has no model. | ||

| These clauses are generated by a finite subset $S_3 \subseteq S_0$, i.e. $S_2 \subseteq clauses(S_3)$. | These clauses are generated by a finite subset $S_3 \subseteq S_0$, i.e. $S_2 \subseteq clauses(S_3)$. | ||
| - | Therefore $S_3$ has no model. | + | Therefore the finite subset $S_3$ of $S_0$ has no model. |
