    I merged coherent formula into coherent logic and added redirects; I didn’t see a good reason to keep them separate. Perhaps the page should actually be called coherent theory to match with geometric theory, or vice versa, any thoughts?

    Prompted by the discussion in the other thread I added many of the nice properties of coherent logic to coherent logic.

    Thank you! These are very useful additions. I don’t feel strongly about renaming the page ’coherent theory’.

    Is it appropriate to include coherent site as a redirect to coherent coverage? I think the terminology is used.

    Sure.

    Done. But why does geometric coverage also redirect there?

    • CommentTimeJun 2nd 2012

    Presumably because geometric = infinitary-coherent?

    I see the relationship, but the concept is not discussed there. Is it the same thing, just on a coherent category that happens to be infinitary-coherent? Or is it a different coverage?

    It’s different; I edited the page.

    Clarified sentence about algebraic theories being coherent, to avoid the possible misconception that every cartesian category is a coherent category. I think this is the meaning that was intended; please correct me if I’ve misunderstood the statement.

    Heh, this is one of the problems with using the word “theory” to refer to the classifying category of a theory. I would say the intended meaning is that a syntactic algebraic theory simply is a coherent theory without any modification required. This is a much more trivial observation than the theorem about embeddings of categories.

    Added more detail about what it means syntactically versus semantically for “every algebraic theory to be a coherent theory”.

  2. added example of the theory of an elementary topos.
