Semantics

Constraint-satp

Semantic function checking if a constaint is satisfied, given a list of definitions, an assignment, and a prime field.

Given the proof system formalized above, defining the semantic function discussed in semantics is easily done, by existentially quantifying over proof trees. That is, there must exist a proof tree that successfully proves the assertion corresponding to the assignment and constraint.
