Absoluteness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absoluteness
In mathematical logic, a formula is said to be absolute if it has the same truth value in each class of structures/models.
Theorems about absoluteness typically establish relationships between the absoluteness of formulas and their syntactic form.
There are two weaker forms of partial absoluteness:
if the truth of a formula in each substructure
Nof a structureMfollows from its truth inM, the formula is downward absolute.if the truth of a formula in a structure
Nimplies its truth in each structureMextendingN, the formula is upward absolute.
