section ‹ Maximally Consistent Sets For Classical Logic \label{sec:mcs}›
text ‹ ∗‹Relativized› maximally consistent sets were introduced in
\S\ref{sec:implicational-maximally-consistent-sets}.
Often this is exactly what we want in a proof.
A completeness theorem typically starts by assuming \<^term>‹φ› is
not provable, then finding a \<^term>‹φ-MCS Γ› which gives rise to a model
which does not make \<^term>‹φ› true. ›
text ‹ A more conventional presentation says that \<^term>‹Γ› is maximally
consistent if and only if \<^term>‹¬ (Γ ⊩ ⊥)› and
\<^term>‹∀ ψ. ψ ∈ Γ ∨ (ψ → φ) ∈ Γ›. This conventional presentation
will come up when formulating \textsc{MaxSAT} in
\S\ref{sec:abstract-maxsat}. This in turn allows us to formulate
\textsc{MaxSAT} completeness for probability inequalities in
\S\ref{subsec:maxsat-completeness}, and reduce checking if a strategy
will always lose money or if it will always make money if matched to
bounded \textsc{MaxSAT} as part of our proof of the ∗‹Dutch Book Theorem›
in \S\ref{subsec:guardian-dutch-book-maxsat-reduction} and \S\ref{subsec:market-depth-dutch-book-maxsat-reduction}
respectively. ›
