Consistency in logic
In logic, consistency refers to the idea that a set of beliefs or statements can coexist without contradiction. If a system is consistent, you can believe all its parts without any one part contradicting another. For example, if you say "it is raining" and also "it is not raining," those statements are inconsistent because they cannot both be true at the same time. In knowledge systems, consistency ensures that conclusions drawn from information do not conflict, making the system reliable and trustworthy. Consistent reasoning leads to valid and coherent outcomes in any discussion or argument.
