What is the meaning of consistent?
Definition
adj (English)
1. (logic) Of a set of statements: such that no contradiction logically follows from them.Examples: "When we ask whether ideas or terms are consistent or inconsistent with each other, the question really is, in what manner the relation presupposed between the ideas qualifies them for being combined as terms of a judgment."; "Part of establishing a foundation for geometry was demonstrating that the axioms were consistent – that they could never lead to contradictions."
noun (English)
1. (in the plural, rare) Objects or facts that are coexistent, or in agreement with one another.Examples: "The Diurnal motion of the primum mobile, is it not from Eaſt to Weſt? And the annual motion of the Sun through the Ecliptick, is it not on the contrary from Weſt to Eaſt? How then can you make theſe motions being conferred on the Earth, of contraries to become conſiſtents?"in-pluralrare
2. (Eastern Orthodoxy, historical) A kind of penitent who was allowed to assist at prayers, but was not permitted to receive the holy sacraments.Examples: "[F]rom the fourth century onwards, the Eastern Church divided penitents into four classes. […] The consistentes (the last class—συστάντες, consistentes) "stand together with the faithful, and do not go out with the catechumens. Last comes participation in the sacraments (ἁγιασμάτων).""historical
