TRUTH

A property implicitly ascribed to a proposition by belief in or assertion of it. The denial is "falsity". The verification theory of truth identifies it with a correspondence between the proposition and the events, properties or objects to which it refers (see reference) linguistically or operationally. The logical theory of truth identifies it with the coherence between that proposition and other propositions. The constructivist theory of truth identifies it with constructability (see constructivism) implying the absence of paradox and contradiction. (Krippendorff)
