implikált

Implikált is a term used in logic and mathematics to describe the implication connective, expressed in many texts as the conditional statement p → q. In Hungarian usage, "implikált" often appears as the verb form or adjective related to the concept of implication, with the noun form being "implikáció." The idea is that if the first statement (the antecedent) is true, then the second statement (the consequent) must also be true.

In classical propositional logic, implication is a truth-functional operator known as material implication. The statement p → q is true in all cases except when p is true and q is false. Equivalently, p → q is logically the same as ¬p ∨ q, and it is also equivalent to the contrapositive ¬q → ¬p. The converse, q → p, is not generally equivalent to p → q, and the implication can be vacuously true when the antecedent is false.

Usage and context: Implied relationships are fundamental in proofs, programming, and formal specifications. Implication expresses that a condition guarantees another condition, serving as the basis for conditional statements and logical entailment. In natural language, implications can be weaker or stronger depending on context; in formal logic, the standard material implication is a precise, well-defined connective, distinct from stronger notions like strict implication found in other logics.

Origins and notation: The concept traces back to classical logic and has been formalized extensively in mathematical logic. Notation typically uses an arrow (→) for the connective, with "implikáció" and "implikált" reflecting the Hungarian terms.
