An interpretation is an assignment of meaning to the symbol formal symbols of a formal language . Many formal languages used in mathematics , logic , and theoretical computer science are defined in solely syntax syntactic terms, and as such do not have any meaning until they are given some interpretation. The general study of interpretations of formal languages is called formal semantics logic formal semantics . The most commonly studied formal logics are propositional logic , predicate logic and their modal analogs, and for these there are standard ways of presenting an interpretation. In these contexts an interpretation is a function mathematics function that provides the extension predicate logic extension of symbols and strings of symbols of an object language. For example, an interpretation ... interpretation have anything to say about logical connectives like and , or and not . Though we may take these symbols to stand for certain things or concepts, this is not determined by the interpretation function.

Noref date November 2009 In mathematical logic , a Herbrand interpretation is an Interpretationlogicinterpretation in which all Logical constant constant s and function symbols are assigned very simple meanings. Specifically, every constant is interpreted as itself, and every function symbol is interpreted as the function mathematics function that applies it. The interpretation also defines predicate symbols as denoting a subset of the relevant Herbrand base , effectively specifying which ground atom s are true in the interpretation. This allows the symbols in a set of clauses to be interpreted in a purely syntax syntactic way, separated from any real instantiation. The importance of Herbrand interpretations is that, if any interpretation satisfiable satisfies a given set of clauses S then there is a Herbrand interpretation that satisfies them. Moreover, Herbrand s theorem states that if S is unsatisfiable then there is a finite unsatisfiable set of ground instances from the Herbrand universe defined by S . Since this set is finite, its unsatisfiability can be verified in finite time. However there may be an infinite number of such sets to check. It is named after Jacques Herbrand .

Expand further date March 2012 About Artistic interpretation other types of interpretationInterpretation disambiguation Interpretation An interpretation in philosophy of art , is an explanation of the meaning of some work of art . An interpretation expresses an understanding of a work of art, a poem, performance, or piece of literature. Aims of interpretation One or many There are many different theories of interpretation. On the one hand, there are an infinite number of interpretations for any given piece of art, any one of which may be considered valid. Citation needed date May 2009 However, it may also be claimed that there really is only one valid interpretation for any given piece of art. The aesthetic theory that people approach art with different aims is called pluralism. People s interpretations of art may be evaluated relative to these aims. The aim of some of these interpretations is such that they may be said to be true or false and the aim of others do not lend themselves to designating truth or falsity to art. Intended interpretation Among those theories which permit for interpretations being named as valid or invalid, are ones which attempt to identify what the artist is trying to accomplish and interpret the art in terms of whether or not the artist has succeeded. In this view there is a single correct interpretation consistent with the artists intention for any given art work.

Quantum mechanics cTopic Interpretation of quantum mechanics Interpretations The stochastic interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics . The modern application of stochastics to quantum mechanics involves the assumption of spacetime stochasticity , the idea that the small scale structure of spacetime is undergoing both metric and topological fluctuations John Archibald Wheeler s quantum foam , and that the averaged result of these fluctuations recreates a more conventional looking metric at larger scales that can be described using classical physics, along with an element of nonlocality that can be described using quantum mechanics. A stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics due to persistent vacuum fluctuations is suggested by Roumen Tsekov. The main idea is that vacuum or spacetime fluctuations are the reason for quantum mechanics and not a result of it how it is usually considered.

Bible related In a biblical context, allegorical interpretation is an approach assuming that the authors of a text e.g., the Bible intended something other than what is literally expressed. The method has its origins in both Greek thought who tried to avoid the literal interpretations of ancient Greek myths and in the Rabbinic literature rabbinical schools of the Land of Israel . Most notably of pre Christian authors Philo of Alexandria expressly refers to its use by his predecessors and uses it himself to discover indications of different doctrines of philosophy in the stories of the Pentateuch. The traces of allegorical and Typology theology typological interpretation can be found later in the New Testament but are further developed in the Epistle of Barnabas and especially by Origen . In the Middle Ages , typology was the dominant Christian allegorical interpretation, which developed sets of correspondences between the Old and New Testaments, believing that the events described in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament had occurred in order to pre figure events in the life of Christ in the New there were other classes of allegory in the Middle Ages .
