consistentes

Consistente is an adjective used in several Romance languages, notably Spanish and Portuguese, to describe something that is coherent, logical, or reliable, and that adheres to a set of rules or standards. The plural form consistentes can refer to multiple items or entities sharing this property. In English, the root concept is typically rendered as consistent, but the term appears in related discussions in linguistics, philosophy, and science texts.

In logic and mathematics, consistency refers to the absence of contradictions within a theory or system. A theory is semantically consistent if there exists at least one model where all axioms hold; syntactic consistency means no proof exists of both a statement and its negation. The notion is central to the justification of formal reasoning. Gödel’s incompleteness theorems show limits on consistency and provability for sufficiently strong systems: such systems cannot prove their own consistency from within the system.

In computer science and databases, consistency describes the correctness of data and state across operations. ACID properties—Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability—express the requirement that transactions leave the system in a valid state, preserving data integrity even amid concurrent activity.

In statistics, a consistent estimator is one that converges in probability to the true parameter as sample size grows; consistentes (plural) may refer to multiple estimators with this property.

Overall, consistentes denote the quality of being uniform, rule-abiding, and free from internal contradictions across diverse fields, from formal theories to practical data handling.
